Private LLMs, when ChatGPT isn’t an option

As organizations rush to implement LLMs critical questions about security, compliance, and data sovereignty often surface too late. So, what happens when using an external LLM provider like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini simply isn't an option? Self-hosting a private LLM might be a good solution. Self-hosting private LLMs is easier said than done. In this talk we show you best practices to self-host LLMs. We will discuss different hosting strategies, and helping you to understand deployment and maintenance of private LLMs. By the end, you'll know exactly when self-hosting a private LLM makes sense, when it doesn't, and you will know where to start implementation.
