When we founded Yurts in 2022, the landscape of generative AI was exploding, and we saw clearly the enormous potential and the unique challenges of deploying these technologies into mission-critical and highly secure environments. From the beginning, our vision was to deliver flexible, powerful, and secure AI to the organizations that needed it most: those operating in the most sensitive and demanding situations.

Fast forward to today: GenAI is no longer just about experimental sandboxes or singular tasks. It’s about orchestration—complex, coordinated actions executed by intelligent agents collaborating seamlessly alongside human operators. That’s why we’re evolving our brand from Yurts to Legion Intelligence.
The name Legion embodies our refined vision: a disciplined ecosystem of intelligent agents working collaboratively behind every decision-maker and every mission. Our new logo, featuring the Roman numeral for 5000, visually captures the strength, scale, and precision required to address the complex, mission-critical workflows our customers navigate every day.
Under the Legion banner, we’re launching enhanced capabilities to orchestrate multi-step, dynamic workflows with built-in logic, human-in-the-loop controls, and advanced operational transparency. Legion agents coordinate seamlessly across CPU/GPU environments, effortlessly integrating commercial, open-source, and custom models. We’ve also expanded our deployment framework, which we call our "zero-to-mission" strategy, by allowing the same secure platform to run anywhere from laptops and cloud environments to fully air-gapped, top-secret networks.
But this evolution goes beyond technical advancements. It reflects our unwavering commitment to empower humans. At Legion, human oversight is foundational, ensuring trust, accuracy, and strategic alignment in every workflow. Our agentic app builder, tools suite, collaboration and access controls, and embedding options allow teams to quickly deploy tailored solutions, share critical context, and efficiently leverage AI for high-impact outcomes.
I’m proud to say we’ve delivered substantial value, with customers experiencing operational savings of up to 60 percent. We've run on bare-metal networks for almost two years, and we've deployed our technology on sensitive, secret, and top-secret networks. On the commercial side, we've met critical compliance standards like SOC 2 Type II, CMMC, HIPAA, and GDPR with our Platform.
Looking ahead, Legion is more than a rebrand—it’s a reaffirmation of our core mission: to empower people with secure, orchestrated AI. As we move forward, we’re focused on deepening our capabilities, driving innovation, and continuing to deliver solutions trusted in the most demanding environments.
We’re excited about this next chapter and deeply grateful for the trust and collaboration of our customers, partners, and supporters who've journeyed with us from Yurts to Legion.
Here’s to the future—secure, intelligent, and powerfully orchestrated.
