AI generation locally or via an API?
Text, images and other output can sometimes be generated on your own hardware or produced via an external model service. Which approach best suits your data, desired quality and intended use?

What are open-source AI models?
Open source, open weights and free access do not mean the same thing. Find out what you can download, customise and run yourself — and what rights you need to do so.

What is quantisation in AI models?
Quantisation stores model data with lower precision. As a result, a model may require less memory, but the impact on speed and quality varies depending on the application.

What is digital sovereignty?
Digital sovereignty is about having control over your data, systems and choices. In the context of AI, this also encompasses model access, management and the ability to switch providers.

What is KV-cache in an LLM?
The KV cache stores intermediate results from a language model, so that it does not have to repeat as much work during text generation. This helps with speed, but also requires memory.

What is a token factory?
A ‘token factory’ is a metaphor for infrastructure that produces AI output. What lies behind such a factory, and how does this relate to inference and costs?

What is a VC subsidy for AI services?
Investors and temporary grants can finance growth before a service pays for itself. How might such a potential grant affect your view of AI costs?

What is loss-leader pricing in the context of AI?
With loss-leader pricing, an offer is priced at a loss to attract customers. How does this differ from a temporary discount, finance options and predatory pricing?

What is predatory pricing, or price gouging?
Predatory pricing refers to low prices that can exclude competition. Why is a cheap AI API not in itself evidence of such a practice?

What is vendor lock-in in AI?
Vendor lock-in occurs when switching suppliers becomes difficult or expensive. With AI, this dependency often lies in data, APIs, model behaviour and workflows all at once.

What is edge AI?
Edge AI means that AI runs close to the source of the data, for example on a device, server or local network. This allows you to work faster and often gives you greater control over privacy, continuity and costs.

What is local AI?
Local AI means that AI runs within your own environment, for example on a local device, server or network. It is about having greater control over data, availability, costs and dependence on external AI platforms.

What is on-premises AI?
On-premise AI means that AI runs on infrastructure managed by your own organisation or at your own premises. This can help with privacy, compliance, business continuity and control over systems.

What is the cloud?
By ‘cloud’, organisations usually mean software, storage or computing power made available via external infrastructure. This offers flexibility, but also involves decisions regarding data, dependency and management.
