Definition
The deployment of LLMs, vector databases, and orchestration frameworks within private infrastructure or Virtual Private Clouds (VPC) to ensure data sovereignty and eliminate reliance on third-party SaaS APIs. This approach allows for full control over the model weights, retrieval environment, and inference lifecycle at the cost of increased operational complexity and hardware maintenance.
Private infrastructure control vs. third-party Managed Service/API consumption.
