Section 1
The premise
On-prem inference removes data exit risk but adds capacity planning, ops burden, and a smaller model menu.
What AI does well here
- Keep data inside your perimeter
- Tune throughput for your specific traffic
- Predict cost as fixed not variable
What AI cannot do
- Match frontier model quality with current open weights
- Eliminate ops cost
- Scale instantly to spikes
