Local AI
Where should your AI actually live?
Hosted in the cloud, running on a box in your office, or sealed off the grid entirely. Answer five questions and our agent places you on the ladder: which tier fits, why, what we would run, and what we would ship first.
The ladder
Four ways to run AI.
Hosted
Cloud APIs. Fastest to value, zero infrastructure, pay per token.
Hybrid
Frontier models in the cloud, a local box for the sensitive or high-volume slice.
Full local install
Open-weights models on your own hardware. Data stays home, costs go flat.
Air-gapped
Fully isolated, no external network. For regulated and classified work.
