LLM & AI Blog

WordPress revolutionized web publishing by making powerful, open source tools accessible to everyone—from bloggers to enterprises. Today, private, open source LLMs are following a similar trajectory. This post explores how the commoditization of model weights, rising demand for AI privacy, modular deployment stacks, and falling hardware costs are setting the stage for a “WordPress moment” in AI. From Raspberry Pi-scale devices to enterprise-grade LLM stacks, we’re approaching a future where every company—not just big tech—can deploy and control its own intelligent systems.

A practical DevOps guide to running LLMs at scale with Docker, GPUs, and distribution, covering builds, orchestration, scaling, and observability.

Guide to fine-tuning LLMs on-prem, protect sensitive data, ensure compliance, cut latency, and keep full control without relying on the cloud.

A practical guide to integrating LLMs with your own data stack—clean sources, smart retrieval, and grounded answers your team can trust.

Law firms evaluating AI face a choice between Private LLMs—high-control but costly and static—and RAG systems, which are cheaper, faster, and always up to date. Each has strengths and drawbacks, but the most effective strategy is often a hybrid: combining the reasoning power and style of private LLMs with the freshness and accuracy of RAG retrieval.

Because for public companies, “move fast and break things” doesn’t cut it. The real mandate is: move smart and stay compliant. Here we discuss how with Custom LLMs.

This is a comprehensive guide for deploying a fully private, production-grade Large Language Model (LLM) stack tailored for a range of specialized tasks and domains. It walks through every layer of the infrastructure—from rapid prototyping on a laptop using tools like Ollama and OpenWebUI to scalable, secure deployments with vLLM or TGI backed by a reverse proxy like Caddy.

Private vs. Public LLMs: CTOs must balance speed, security, cost, and control. Here’s how to choose the right AI strategy for your organization’s future.

LLMs are now woven into the fabric of everyday business. Yet that rapid rise has also created a new, and largely invisible, attack surface: open-facing LLM servers that bleed sensitive data.

Enterprises are shifting from public APIs to private intelligence for security, control, and compliance—building AI systems that are smarter, safer, and proprietary.

On-prem LLMs offer control, compliance, and customization—giving enterprises secure, low-latency AI without sacrificing data ownership or agility.

Build secure, in-house LLMs to protect sensitive data, ensure compliance, reduce latency, and gain full control over your AI infrastructure and operations.

Below, we break down why private LLMs are gaining momentum, what advantages they unlock, and how organizations can start charting their own course.

This article unpacks how those leaks happen, what has already gone wrong, and the practical steps you can take to keep your data under wraps.

Implementing private large language models (LLMs) promises unparalleled control over your AI capabilities — but it comes with significant challenges. From massive infrastructure and energy requirements to complex integration, security, compliance, and ethical concerns, organizations face steep technical and operational hurdles. This post explores the biggest obstacles to deploying private LLMs, including hidden costs like power consumption and noise pollution, talent gaps, and the difficulty of future-proofing against rapidly evolving AI technology.

As AI and large language models (LLMs) become embedded in enterprise workflows, compliance with frameworks like SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR is essential. This post explores how LLMs introduce new regulatory risks—and how private AI deployments can help organizations meet security, privacy, and data integrity requirements.

Public AI APIs like OpenAI and Anthropic offer convenience and powerful capabilities, but they come with hidden risks—data privacy concerns, vendor lock-in, compliance challenges, and unpredictable costs. This post explores why enterprises should be cautious when relying on public APIs and outlines how private LLM deployments offer a secure, customizable, and compliant alternative. By hosting models in your own infrastructure, you gain full control over your data, reduce regulatory exposure, and avoid the limitations of third-party providers.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are powerful—but energy-hungry. Complex queries can emit up to 50× more CO₂ than simple ones, contributing significantly to AI’s environmental footprint. This post outlines how to make LLMs more sustainable through smarter model selection, compression techniques, carbon-aware orchestration, and green infrastructure. With tools like GreenTrainer and CarbonCall, emissions can be cut by over 50% without sacrificing performance. LLM.co is leading the way in helping organizations deploy intelligent, energy-efficient, and climate-conscious AI systems.

DeepSeek’s LLM platform stores user data on servers located in China—a major concern for companies with privacy, compliance, and data sovereignty obligations. This post explores the risks of using DeepSeek for sensitive data and outlines why private, on-prem LLM deployments are a safer alternative.

LLMs flounder when they face tasks that step outside the patterns they've seen in training.

This post explores what’s driving the on-prem LLM movement, the biggest implementation struggles, and the emerging solutions—like the Model Context Protocol (MCP)—that are helping companies bridge the gap between aspiration and execution.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are AI systems trained on vast quantities of text to understand and generate human-like language.

Private LLMs—self-hosted, customizable language models that offer the same (and often better) functionality as their API-bound counterparts, but with far greater control, predictability, and security.

Static documents become searchable, interactive, and invaluable tools for informed decision-making.
