Use Cases

When Self-Hosted LLMs Are the Right Choice

Not every org needs a private LLM β€” but for these situations, it's the only option that works.

🏦

Bank Internal AI Tools

Regulators won't let customer data hit third-party APIs. A self-hosted LLM powers internal tools β€” document analysis, code generation, report drafting β€” without any data leaving the bank's network.

Banking & Finance
πŸ₯

Healthcare Clinical AI

PHI can't be sent to OpenAI. A private Llama deployment processes clinical notes, generates discharge summaries, and answers physician queries β€” all within the hospital's HIPAA-compliant environment.

Healthcare
πŸ›‘οΈ

Defense & Government

Classified and sensitive government data requires air-gapped AI. Self-hosted models run on government-approved infrastructure with no internet connectivity.

βš–οΈ

Law Firm Confidentiality

Attorney-client privilege means legal documents can't be processed by external AI. A private LLM handles contract review, research, and drafting entirely within the firm's systems.

High-Volume Cost Optimization

When you're making 500K+ API calls per month, self-hosting becomes dramatically cheaper. One client cut their monthly LLM spend from $48K to $14K by moving to self-hosted.

Banking

Regional Bank Deploys Private LLM for Document Analysis β€” Cuts Processing Time 65%

A regional bank with $8B in assets needed AI-powered document analysis for loan processing but couldn't send customer financial documents to external APIs due to regulatory and board-level data governance policies.

The Challenge

The Problem

Strict data governance policies prevented the bank from using cloud-based AI APIs, leaving manual document processing as the only option.

Loan officers spent 3+ hours per application manually reviewing financial statements, tax returns, and supporting documents
Board-level policy prohibited sending customer financial data to any third-party AI provider, including major cloud AI APIs
Previous attempts to use cloud AI were blocked by the CISO and compliance team during security review
Competitors using AI were processing loans 60% faster, leading to applicant drop-off during the lengthy manual review

Our Approach: We deployed a fine-tuned Llama 3 70B model on the bank's private cloud (AWS GovCloud). The model was fine-tuned on 12,000 anonymized loan documents to extract income data, identify discrepancies, flag risk factors, and generate preliminary underwriting summaries. The entire system runs within the bank's VPC with no external network access. GPU infrastructure was sized for 200 concurrent document analyses with P95 latency under 8 seconds per document.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

For general tasks, there's a gap β€” maybe 10-15% on benchmarks. But after fine-tuning on your domain data, self-hosted models often match or exceed API models on your specific tasks. The gap is closing rapidly with each new open-source release.
