Whatever Works

AI & LLM Integration Service

Self-HostedLLM ReadyCustom Software

Ship AI features without the token bill — or the lock-in.

We integrate large language models into custom software running on our self-hosted data center. Your users get powerful, low-latency AI, while you avoid bring-your-own-key setup, unpredictable usage costs, and the fragility of depending on a single third-party model provider.

Why “just use the API” quietly gets expensive and fragile

The common path hides three costs that show up later.

Unpredictable token bills

Hosted model APIs bill by the token. Usage that is cheap in a demo turns into a line item you have to forecast, cap, and explain once real users arrive — and spikes are easy to hit.

Bring-your-own-key overhead

You procure, store, rotate, and monitor your own API keys; handle rate limits, quotas, and provider outages; and wire up your own fallbacks. That is real engineering time that isn’t your product.

Tied to a provider's terms

Pricing, rate limits, model availability, and acceptable-use policies can change without your consent. Architecture that leans on one provider inherits those surprises.

What we do for you

One accountable partner, from architecture to self-hosted rollout.

Your models on our self-hosted data center

Open-weight LLMs on our own GPU hardware. Heavy, always-on AI features cost a predictable share of the platform — never a metered token invoice.

No BYOK, no surprise token bills

No keys to manage, no billing to watch. You pay one stable, scoped fee — AI becomes a budgetable capability, not a variable cost.

Architecture that doesn’t get trapped

Provider abstraction, caching, smart routing, graceful fallbacks — when a provider changes pricing or limits, it’s a config tweak for us, not an outage for you.

Your data stays close

Sensitive workloads run on infrastructure we operate — your prompts don’t have to flow through another external API.

How it works

A practical path from idea to production AI.

Scope the AI features

We map your features — chat, extraction, summaries, agents — to the right models and realistic traffic.

Design resilient architecture

We design around abstraction, caching, and model routing — so a provider hiccup is never a product outage.

Stand up on our data center

We provision and serve models on our self-hosted GPUs. No keys, no billing, nothing for you to run.

Integrate and hand over

We build the features into your software, watch quality in production, and hand over a system you can rely on.

Every engagement is scoped to your product, expected usage, and privacy needs, so we quote rather than publish fixed prices. You’ll get a clear breakdown of architecture, model strategy, and cost before we start.

FAQ

What teams ask us before committing.

No. The models are served from infrastructure we operate on our self-hosted data center. You don’t procure, store, or bill for third-party model APIs — we handle that layer and bill you a scoped fee for the capability.

We quote per engagement based on the features, expected usage, and privacy requirements. Self-hosting turns inference into a capacity cost we manage, so you get a stable, scoped price instead of an open-ended, per-token invoice that tracks your user growth.

We run a mix of open-weight models suited to the task — smaller, fast models for routine work and larger models for the hardest requests — and route between them for cost and quality. We also evaluate adding a hosted API as a fallback where it makes sense.

That’s the point of the design. Because we abstract the model layer and can shift workloads to models we self-host, a provider changing price, rate limits, or availability is a configuration change for us — not an outage or a bill spike for your product.
