Arctic Expedition Guide
Everything you need to know about provisioning cold chambers, sealing documents inside, and analyzing your data in complete isolation.
Getting Started
Base Camp Setup
From a new account to your first chamber in a few steps.
1. Register At Base Camp
Sign up with your name, email address, phone number and a password. Creating an account costs nothing; you add credit before starting your first chamber.
2. Load Fuel Credits
Navigate to Billing and load your prepaid balance using Visa or Mastercard (or Multibanco in EUR, BLIK in PLN). You decide the amount: anything from $1.12 to $22,280.00 per top-up. No subscriptions, no recurring charges.
3. Provision A Cold Chamber
Click "New Chamber" from your dashboard. Name it, select a use case preset, and choose your model tier. A dedicated GPU instance will be ready in about 5–8 minutes, depending on tier.
4. Upload Your Documents
Drag and drop files into your chamber or click the upload zone. Documents are uploaded over HTTPS and passed straight to your isolated GPU instance. Maximum file size is 50 MB per file.
5. Analyze In Isolation
Use the chat interface to interrogate your documents. The AI processes everything locally inside your cold chamber — no data leaves your instance. Generate reports, extract data, compare documents, and more.
6. Destroy When Done
When your analysis is complete, destroy the chamber. The GPU instance is terminated and all data — documents, chat history, generated outputs — sublimates permanently and irreversibly.
File Types

Operations
Cold-Chamber Analysis Tools
What you can do with your documents once the chamber is running.
Document Interrogation
Ask natural language questions about your sealed documents. The AI reads and understands your files, returning answers with references to specific sections. All inference happens locally inside your cold chamber.
Document Editing
Instruct the AI to rewrite, restructure, or distill content from your documents. Produce revised drafts, executive summaries, or structured extracts — all without data leaving your isolated environment.
File Generation
The AI can generate new artifacts based on your documents and instructions. Supported output types include:
- Summary reports (PDF, DOCX)
- Data extraction tables (CSV, XLSX)
- Comparison matrices
- Timeline and chronology documents
- Due diligence reports
Models
Frost Levels
ArcticAI runs auditable open-source models on dedicated GPUs. Each frost level offers a different balance of speed and capability:
Best for: Quick-freeze summaries, fast data extraction, simple queries
Best for: Multi-document reasoning, legal/financial review, balanced cold-chamber workflows
Best for: Deep-freeze analysis, nuanced extraction, frontier-class workloads
Billing
Fuel & Metering
How your prepaid balance is charged while a chamber runs.
Prepaid Balance
ArcticAI operates on a prepaid fuel model. Load credit to your account using Visa or Mastercard (or Multibanco in EUR, BLIK in PLN), then spend it across any number of cold chambers at your own pace.
Per-Minute Metering
GPU time is metered per minute at the hourly rate of your selected model tier. You are charged only while a chamber is actively running. Frozen and destroyed chambers incur zero cost.
No Recurring Charges
There are no monthly fees and no subscriptions. You pay only for the GPU time your cold chambers consume.
