Only the staff you allow can use it, and every question is logged.

Why businesses choose a private LLM

If your team handles patient records, financial data, legal documents, or trade secrets, pasting them into a public AI chat tool creates real risk. A private LLM gives your team modern AI while keeping data inside your own systems.

  • Prompts and documents never leave your environment
  • Predictable costs that do not rise with every question asked
  • Control over which AI model runs, when it is updated, and who can use it
  • Easier compliance conversations with auditors and clients

What's in a managed private AI stack

We set up open-weight language models, private search across your documents, a system for adding new documents, and secure sign-in for your staff, with a log of each person's activity. It runs in your cloud account or on your own hardware.

After launch, we monitor it, apply security updates, and upgrade the AI models as better versions become available.

On-premise AI vs cloud AI

Cloud AI services are the fastest way to start and offer the most advanced models. Private and on-premise AI is the better choice when data is sensitive, regulations apply, or heavy daily use makes cloud costs high. Many businesses use both, with private models for sensitive work and cloud models for everything else.

Cost and timeline

Setup is a fixed price quoted in writing once we know your hardware or cloud environment, user count, and document volume. Deployment takes 5 business days. Ongoing management is covered by our App & Agent Support plan.

Questions

People also ask

What is a private LLM?

A private LLM is a language model that runs entirely on servers you control, so your data is not sent to an outside AI provider. It can answer questions about your documents and power internal tools and agents.

How much does a private LLM cost?

Holston AI quotes setup as a fixed price based on your environment and usage, deployed in 5 business days, with ongoing management through our App & Agent Support plan. Hardware or cloud compute is billed by your provider.

Is self-hosted AI worth it?

It is worth it when your data is sensitive, regulated, or valuable, or when heavy daily use makes cloud AI expensive. For light use with non-sensitive data, a cloud AI service is often simpler.

Can a private LLM search our internal documents?

Yes. We set up private document search so the AI answers questions using your own files, and you control which staff can access which documents.
