Why on-premise instead of the cloud
Cloud AI sends your most sensitive data to third parties and charges you per token. On-premise flips that.
Privacy by design
Models run inside your walls. No prompts, documents or customer data ever leave your network.
Security & control
Air-gapped or isolated deployments, full audit trails, your access policies, your encryption keys.
Unlimited tokens
Once the hardware is yours, you run as many tokens as you want — no surprise invoices.
Predictable cost
A clear capex/opex model instead of metered bills that scale with every prompt.
Data sovereignty
Keep European data in Europe, aligned with GDPR and digital-sovereignty strategy.
Low latency
Inference next to your data and users — fast, reliable, available even offline.

Models & Hardware
Many models. Many sizes. The right hardware.
We are model- and vendor-agnostic. We pick the open-source model, the parameter size and the hardware that best fit each use case, budget and privacy need — and we tell you which pairs with which.
Open-source models & parameter sizes
We work with multiple families and versions, choosing the parameter count that fits your accuracy and hardware budget.

Model ↔ hardware recommendations
We map it both ways: tell us your goal and we recommend the model + hardware, or tell us your hardware and we recommend the best model and size.
| Profile | Recommended model | Recommended hardware |
|---|---|---|
| Small team / pilot | 7–8B (Llama 3.1 8B, Mistral 7B) | 1× 24GB GPU (RTX 4090 / L4) |
| Department / production | 32–70B quantized (Qwen 32B, Llama 70B) | 2× 48–80GB GPU (L40S / A100) |
| Enterprise / high performance | 405B · Mixtral 8x22B · DeepSeek V3 | Multi-GPU cluster (H100 / H200) |
| Autonomous agents | Hermes · Qwen-Agent (tool calling) | A100 / H100 + vector store |

Deployment
Hosted by us or on your premises — your choice
You decide where your private AI runs. Either way, the model and data stay exclusively yours.
We host it for you
We run the model and infrastructure on dedicated, isolated private hosting that we manage for you — no shared cloud and no data sent to third-party APIs.
On-premise at your company
We deploy and install everything in your own data center or office, fully under your control — even completely air-gapped.
Hybrid and portable
Start hosted and move on-premise later, or the other way around. Open-source models mean no lock-in: your setup goes wherever you do.
On-premise vs commercial cloud AI
How private, on-premise AI with open-source models compares to commercial cloud APIs.
| Privonis · on-premise | Commercial cloud APIs (GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini…) | |
|---|---|---|
| Where your data lives | Your infrastructure | Third-party servers |
| Privacy | Data never leaves | Sent to the provider |
| Cost model | Fixed, you own it | Per token, variable |
| Cost at scale | Amortizes as you use it | Grows with every query |
| Tokens | Unlimited | Metered & billed |
| Customization | Full (fine-tune, your models) | Limited to the API |
| Offline / air-gapped | Yes | No |
| EU data sovereignty | Yes | Depends on provider |
| Vendor lock-in | None — open source | High |
Qualitative comparison. Commercial APIs are great for some cases — we help you choose; we are not against them.
Open-source models vs commercial licenses
Owning open-weight models versus renting access under a proprietary license.
| Open-source models | Commercial license / API | |
|---|---|---|
| Model weights | You download & own them | No access |
| License | Apache 2.0 · MIT · open | Proprietary terms of service |
| Run anywhere | Yes, your hardware | Provider only |
| Usage limits | None | Rate & quota limits |
| Price changes | You control cost | Vendor can change anytime |
| Continuity | Runs forever, even offline | Depends on the vendor |

Frequently asked questions
The essentials about on-premise AI.
What does "on-premise" mean?
The AI runs on hardware inside your own infrastructure (or a private environment you control), instead of a third-party cloud.
Does my data leave the company?
No. Your prompts, documents and customer data stay within your network. That is the whole point of on-premise.
What hardware do I need?
It depends on your use case and the model size. We advise and source it — from a single GPU workstation to a multi-node cluster.
What does "unlimited tokens" mean?
Cloud APIs charge per token. When the model runs on your own hardware you can process as many tokens as you want with no per-token billing.
Is it GDPR and EU AI Act compliant?
Yes. We build governance, documentation and controls into the project to align with GDPR and the EU AI Act.
Is there financing?
Often yes. Several European and national programs co-fund AI and digitalisation. We help you find and apply.
