Sovereign Institutional Infrastructure Stack — n8n + LiteLLM + Ollama + 30 MCPs. Tri-polar routing. Offline-capable. East Africa. # AI-KungFU Sovereign Institutional Infrastructure (SII) Stack > *Build open, portable, local-first digital institutions that allow ordinary people and communities to access capabilities that historically required governments, corporations, or wealthy elites.* --- ## What This Is A production-grade, sovereignty-first AI infrastructure stack for East Africa. Built to survive: power outages, export controls, API rate limits, vendor failures, and metered mobile data. **Not a chatbot. Not an app. A reusable coordination system.** ``` Input → Structure → Retrieve → Reason → Verify → Act → Record → Improve ``` --- ## 4-Tier Architecture ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ TIER 1: Context & Memory (Git + SQLite + Markdown) │ │ Sovereign, local-first, offline-readable │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ TIER 2: Orchestration (n8n + Redis + Postgres) │ │ Deterministic DAGs. Swarms for discovery only. │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ TIER 3: Intelligence (LiteLLM — Tri-Polar Routing) │ │ Western / Eastern / Sovereign. Switch via env var. │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ TIER 4: Delivery (WhatsApp / HTMX / SMS / USSD) │ │ Offline-first. This stack was designed for a specific constraint: communities must not be forced to choose between > access to AI assistance and control of their own data. The tri-polar routing model is not just about cost. It is about independence: | Tier | Who Controls It | Data Exposure | |------|-----------------|---------------| | Western (Claude/Gemini) | US corporations | Aggregated, never raw personal data | | Eastern (DeepSeek/Qwen) | Chinese providers | Aggregated, never raw personal data | | **Sovereign (Ollama local)** | **The community** | **Zero — data never leaves the device** | **The 72-hour offline test** is the sovereignty test: if the internet goes …
