When the data cannot leave the building, you own the model
For regulated data, confidential work, or inference at high volume, a public application programming interface (API) is the wrong fit. The risk is too high or the bill grows with every successful use. At that point owning the model is the safer and cheaper answer.
Open-source models have caught up. Llama, Qwen, Mistral and DeepSeek are now good enough for production, and after fine-tuning on your domain they hold their own against the frontier on the tasks that matter to you. The hard part is no longer the model. It is choosing the right one, getting it onto your infrastructure, and running it like a system your team can trust.
That is the work we do. We benchmark the candidates against your real use cases, deploy the winner on your servers or your cloud tenant, fine-tune it on your data and tone, and stand up the serving, monitoring and rollback so it behaves like infrastructure, not a science project. Private AI deployment is one part of how we build AI capability, alongside frontier rollout and adoption across the AI Enablement hub. Start with a free AI audit.
