Versus cloud AI services
Data in your building or with a provider: what you gain and what you give up.

Wiring up open-source pieces yourself or running a finished platform.

A Mac Studio in your office or a rented GPU server in a data center.
Costs
A flat fee or per-token billing: how each one affects your planning.
kayetana is a strong fit if you …
- don't want sensitive data to leave the building
- prefer fixed, predictable costs over per-token billing
- need chat, documents, search and audio in one place
- need a REST API with your own keys and limits
- want to keep working without an internet connection
- want to choose open models yourself and fine-tune them
When another route is better
If you need very large models that don't fit in a Mac Studio's memory, cloud AI services or large rented servers are often the better choice.
If you don't want to set up your own machine, or you only use AI now and then, per-token billing can cost less. You'll find the cost calculator under Tools.
Rather compare for yourself?
In a demo you'll see kayetana with your own examples and can decide on the spot.
