Keep your data inside your walls.
Not every organization gets to send its data to someone else's API. Regulated records, classified material, and competitive IP need to stay inside the perimeter — so I build the infrastructure that makes that possible: open-source LLM selection and tuning, GPU strategy, inference management, and on-prem or air-gapped appliances. Full control, nothing leaving.
A hosted API is the right call for most companies most of the time. It's not the right call for everyone. If you're sitting on classified material, regulated health or financial records, or IP you can't risk in a third party's logs, "just call the API" isn't a real option — it's a compliance finding waiting to happen.
That's the work I do here: infrastructure for organizations where the model has to come to the data, not the other way around. If your data can't leave the building, neither should your inference.
What an on-prem build actually requires
This isn't "download a model and run it." Getting open-source inference to hold up under real load, inside your constraints, takes three things done properly.
- On-prem / local deployment & hardware builds — sized, procured, and racked (or air-gapped) for the workload you actually have, not a vendor's reference architecture.
- Open-source LLM selection & tuning — the right base model for your task and hardware budget, fine-tuned or adapted on your data instead of forced to fit a general-purpose default.
- GPU strategy & inference management — utilization, batching, quantization, and routing decisions that determine whether your hardware spend earns its keep or sits idle.
For most companies, the cloud is the right answer. For the ones where it isn't, "we'll figure it out later" isn't a strategy. The data stays inside your walls, or the project doesn't ship.
The four pieces of an on-prem stack.
From constraint to running cluster.
Map the data and the constraint
We identify exactly what has to stay on-prem and why — regulatory, contractual, or competitive — and size the workload before any hardware gets ordered.
Choose and benchmark the model
We evaluate open-source LLMs against your task and hardware budget, then tune the model that actually earns its place instead of the one with the biggest name.
Stand up the hardware and the stack
GPU procurement, deployment architecture, and the inference stack go in together — on-prem or air-gapped, sized to what you'll actually run.
Manage inference under real load
We tune batching, quantization, and routing against latency and cost once the system is live, and keep tuning as usage grows.
If your data can't leave, let's build where it lives.
If the cloud isn't an option for you, that's not the end of the conversation — it's the starting constraint. I'll tell you what an on-prem build costs and what it takes before we start.
