```dv dv.paragraph(("https://jimr.fyi/" + dv.currentFilePath.replace(/\.md$/, "").replace(/ /g, "+"))) ``` A bespoke locked-down intranet AI tackling predictable queries and integrated into our business workflows will outperform GPT-4o on relevance, speed, privacy, and budget while remaining fully flexible #### What We Can Build - A custom inference rig using top open-source models (e.g., DeepSeek-V2, Mixtral, Yi-34B) fine-tuned on our private data. - Architecture optimized for sub-second responses on 1,000 daily prompts (1,000 in + 1,000 out tokens each). #### Why It's Better - Tailored Accuracy: +10–20% domain lift by training on our docs, data, procedures, even PPI. - Consistent <1 s Latency: Local GPUs + quantization + vLLM/TGI pipelines eliminate API hops. - Fixed, Predictable Costs: No per-token spikes or overages. - Full Data Control: All sensitive information stays behind our firewall. #### Realistic Cost & Effort - Infra Run-Rate (~2× A100 80 GB GPUs + chassis + power/cooling + colocation + monitoring + 0.5 FTE ops): $7.5–8.5K / month - One-Time Build: ~1 FTE-year of engineering (fine-tuning pipeline, integration, QA tools) - Quarterly Fine Tuning: .1 FTE-year 4 times a year - Total 3-Year TCO: ~$400K
