IBM Brings Bob to Self-Hosted and Air-Gapped Environments: Agentic Software Development Without Moving Your Code
IBM Bob goes on-premises. Enterprises can now run agentic software development in air-gapped networks without moving code to the cloud.
Why it matters
IBM's self-hosted deployment of Bob removes a major adoption barrier for regulated and security-conscious enterprises. Practitioners can now evaluate and deploy autonomous code agents in private clouds or air-gapped environments, bringing their own model (Nemotron, Laguna) for full isolation or hybrid setups (Claude, Gemini, GPT). This unlocks agent deployment for industries with strict data residency requirements.
The key facts
6 to knowIBM Bob now GA for on-premises, private cloud, and air-gapped deployment
