Concepts / Local AI TECHNOLOGY

Own the hardware. Flatten the bill.

Cloud AI bills grow with every query. Local AI is an investment: buy the hardware once, run open models on it, and watch cost per query fall toward electricity. Use the calculator to find your breakeven.

THE HYBRID ESTATE

Not everything should move, and that's fine

We design hybrid estates: high-volume, privacy-sensitive workloads run on your hardware; rare, hardest problems still call a frontier model.

RUNS BEAUTIFULLY LOCAL
  • Document Q&A over your knowledge graph
  • Email & ticket triage, classification, routing
  • Drafting from templates and precedent
  • Anything touching regulated or client data
KEEP ON FRONTIER (FOR NOW)
  • Novel multi-step reasoning on unfamiliar problems
  • Long-horizon agentic work with many tools
  • Low-volume tasks that never reach breakeven
  • The harness routes each task to the right model automatically

Right-sized hardware, not a data centre

TIER 1

Workstation

from ~$15k

A single GPU workstation. Runs mid-size open models for a team: document Q&A, drafting, triage.

TIER 2

Server

from ~$45k

Rack-mounted multi-GPU inference. Department-scale virtual employees with headroom for growth.

TIER 3

Cluster

custom

Multi-node estate for org-wide workloads, fine-tuning and redundancy. Designed with your IT team.

Indicative tiers; we spec against your actual workload during the assessment.
