Self-Hosted AI & Private LLM Platform

Run a model-agnostic AI platform on your own servers โ€” on-premise, air-gapped, or in your private cloud. Your data never leaves your walls.

You own the code, the data, and the models, with no per-seat fees. It is the sovereign alternative to renting AI from a single vendor.

The Dilemma

Rented AI vs. Self-Hosted AI

Where your AI runs decides who owns your data, your models, and your costs

Full sovereignty

ibl.ai deploys across the entire spectrum โ€” and you choose where on it you land.

Rented AI (SaaS)

Fast to start, permanent dependency

  • โ†’ Runs on the vendor's cloud โ€” your data leaves your walls
  • โ†’ Locked to one vendor's models
  • โ†’ Per-seat and per-token pricing that scales with users
  • โ†’ The vendor owns the platform and sets the terms
  • โ†’ A chat assistant โ€” you build and host your own agents

Self-Hosted AI (ibl.ai)

Full control, sovereign by design

  • โ†’ Runs on infrastructure you control โ€” data never leaves your network
  • โ†’ Model-agnostic โ€” run any open-source or commercial LLM
  • โ†’ Flat, usage-based pricing with no per-seat lock-in
  • โ†’ You own the code, the data, and the models
  • โ†’ Production agents out of the box, plus the tools to build your own
What does it actually mean to self-host AI?
What It Is

What Is a Self-Hosted AI Platform?

A self-hosted AI platform runs on infrastructure you control instead of a vendor's cloud. Prompts, documents, and embeddings stay inside your network.

A private LLM means the model itself runs in your environment โ€” an open-source model you host, or a commercial model accessed through your own keys and tenancy.

The ibl.ai platform packages both: a full agentic stack you deploy on your servers, with the model, the code, and the data under your ownership.

The three things you own
Ownership

Own the Code, Data, and Models

You receive the complete platform โ€” not access to someone else's

You receive the full source code

You receive the complete platform source under a perpetual Full Code License โ€” the same code ibl.ai runs in production. Deploy it, modify it, audit it. Your data never trains anyone else's model, and there is no vendor that can revoke your access or change your terms.

Your code

The complete platform source under a perpetual license โ€” yours to deploy, modify, and audit.

Your data

Prompts, documents, and embeddings stay in your environment. Nothing trains anyone else's model.

Your models

Open-source weights you host, or commercial models through your own keys โ€” your choice, always.

Which model runs inside it? Any of them.
Model-Agnostic

Run Any LLM, Including Private Ones

Open-source on your own GPUs, or commercial through your own accounts

The platform is model-agnostic. Run open-source models such as Llama, Mistral, or Qwen privately on your own GPUs.

Or connect commercial models โ€” Claude, GPT, or Gemini โ€” through your own accounts when you want them. Intelligent routing lets you switch models anytime, with no rewrite, via Agentic OS.

And where does all of it run?
Deployment

On-Premise, Air-Gapped, or Your Cloud

One platform, every deployment mode โ€” you decide the level of isolation

Deploy on-premise, in your private cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), in GovCloud, or fully air-gapped with local models and zero external API calls.

See Air-Gapped AI for the isolated-network architecture, or On-Premise Deployment for hosting it inside your own data center.

Owned vs. rented, on every dimension
Comparison

Self-Hosted AI vs. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini & Copilot

The hyperscaler assistants are rented. A self-hosted ibl.ai deployment is owned.

Private AI for Regulated Industries

When data cannot leave your perimeter, self-hosting is the answer

When data cannot leave your perimeter, self-hosting is the answer. Every prompt and response stays inside your environment and is fully logged for audit.

The same private-AI and model-ownership model runs across all eight sectors ibl.ai serves โ€” including healthcare (HIPAA), financial services, and government (FedRAMP).

Lower Cost at Scale โ€” No Per-Seat Lock-In

85%

lower cost at scale vs. per-seat SaaS

Per-seat SaaS pricing punishes growth: every new user adds cost. An owned deployment replaces that with flat, usage-based pricing.

At scale this runs up to 85% lower. Compare your current per-seat spend on the AI Cost Calculator.

You don't have to choose between building and buying
Build & Buy

Build and Buy โ€” You Get Both

You don't have to choose between building from scratch and buying a locked SaaS tool. You get a production-ready platform you own from day one.

ibl.ai engineers can work alongside your team to connect your data sources and build your agents through Forward-Deployed Engineering. See the full build vs. buy breakdown.

Getting Started

Own Your AI Platform

Stop renting AI from a single vendor. Get a model-agnostic platform with full source code, deploy it on-premise, air-gapped, or in your own cloud, and keep your data, models, and costs under your control.
