They're doing it for cost control, data privacy, and no vendor lock-in.\nCheck more stories related to machine-learning at: https://hackernoon.com/c/machine-learning.\n            You can also check exclusive content about #open-source-ai, #llm-infrastructure, #vendor-lock-in, #data-privacy, #ai-agents, #inference-optimization, #good-company, #hackernoon-top-story,  and more.\nThis story was written by: @merry-n-proprietary.

They are actually doing it because these models are now good enough for the high-volume, everyday work agents do, such as retrieval, extraction, classification, and routine generation. Self-hosting those parts has other significant advantages, as well, such as cost control, data privacy, and independence from one vendor.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/KyA01h2FD2insgk-wX_xzV6vbJnTNl2BvPYVL-XaI9A/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQxMjcyLzE2ODM1/ODI0ODgtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
