Cases

Private AI in production.

One model on hardware the client owns, one in the client’s own AWS account.

SSN · On-premise

Quoting was too slow to be worth doing on small deals

SSN sells data-center servers, storage and networking, and none of their data was permitted to leave their building. We fine-tuned an open-weight model and serve it on a fixed set of GPUs on their own hardware: over 5 billion tokens a month at over 90% lower spend than frontier APIs. On it runs an AI configuration agent with a local knowledge base, kept current by a pipeline that syncs vendor documentation. It works out which parts fit together, checks live ERP inventory and prices the result. At five minutes a quote instead of two hours, small deals are now worth fulfilling. SSN runs over 800 a month. A second service tracks competitor listings and adjusts pricing, previously a daily manual task.

The model runs on SSN’s own hardware beside the ERP. No stock or customer data leaves the network.

Tactical IC · AWS private cloud

Hosted model costs grew with every new use

Tactical IC sells integrated circuit components to manufacturers and labs. They wanted AI in their sourcing without sending data to a third party or paying per token at scale. We fine-tuned the latest Kimi model and deployed it on autoscaling instances in their AWS account. On it runs a sourcing agent that watches the sales and support inbox, checks each request against their private database of vendors and price points and against public catalogs, and hands back a complete purchase order request for approval.
