Apheris publishes no implementation: data custodians install the Compute Gateway from a private registry using credentials Apheris issues, and the orchestrator it connects to is Apheris's own service.

  Deploying the Gateway with Helm: "Your Apheris representative provides you with the following: login credentials for the Apheris OCI registry, the values.yaml file ... a concrete chart version".

  Architecture: the Compute Gateway "regularly polls the Gateway API on the Orchestrator (egress only, no ingress)"; the Orchestrator routes Compute Specs.

Apheris publishes network and dataset counts, such as nine pharmaceutical companies in one network, but no count of deployments or users, and it has no public distribution channel that could be counted, so no adoption level is recorded.

  The AI Structural Biology network: "An industry-led collaboration of nine leading pharmaceutical companies". A membership figure for one network, not a usage count for the platform.

Every data custodian operates its own gateway, and every computation is checked against that custodian's policy before it runs, which matches Flower's production reach. Training runs on NVIDIA FLARE, and Apheris documents no reach beyond the data center.

  Privacy controls: the Gateway validates that "the submitter is allowed to run computations on the data; the computation is permitted on the data; the computation parameters are within the allowed bounds"; privacy controls are model specific.

  The Compute Gateway is "a software component that a Data Custodian deploys into their environment" and "can then execute computations on the data while enforcing access controls and PrivSec controls based on Asset Policies"; "Each Compute Gateway is managed and controlled by exactly one organization".

  Custom models: "Currently the main federation framework we support is NVFlare."
