Do we have to buy hardware?
No. You can rent dedicated capacity from us by the month, buy servers outright, or combine the two. The build sheet puts the cost of each path side by side over one and three years, so the decision is made on numbers.
Which models can you run?
Any open-weight model that fits the hardware, including Llama, Mistral, Gemma and their fine-tunes, plus frontier APIs such as Claude, GPT and Gemini through the gateway. Most customers end up using several, routed by task.
How long until we are in production?
Mostly it depends on hardware lead times. Hosted capacity on hardware we already operate is the fastest route. Custom builds take longer, and you get a dated plan before you sign anything.
Can we start small?
Yes. Many teams begin with the gateway alone, pointed at external APIs, and move steady workloads onto dedicated servers once the traffic pattern is clear. Nothing built in the first phase is thrown away.
Who owns the fine-tuned models and the data?
You do. Weights, adapters, datasets and logs produced for you are yours, and they are exported in standard formats if you ever leave.
What happens when something breaks at night?
An engineer is paged directly. Faulty nodes are drained from the pool first and repaired second, so traffic keeps flowing while the fix happens. You get a written incident note the next morning.
Do you work with our existing cloud?
Yes. The gateway and agents can run in your cloud account, on our servers, or both, and they connect to the identity provider and monitoring tools you already use.
