Building Sovereign AI via Self-Hosted LLMs with Stewart Alsop - AI Whisperers X Crecimiento
As Large Language Models (LLMs) become central to business and innovation, the reliance on third-party APIs presents challenges in cost, privacy, and control. But what if you could run powerful AI entirely on your own terms?
Join us as Stewart Alsop demystifies the world of self-hosted LLMs. Drawing from his deep experience as a venture capitalist funding "hard problems" and a founder with a "bias for action," Stewart will present the state-of-the-art in self-hosted solutions.
This session will explore the practical steps and strategic imperatives for building "Sovereign AI"—powerful, independent AI systems that you own and control.
In this talk, you will learn about:
The current landscape and latest breakthroughs in self-hosted LLMs.
The practical tools and methods for deploying and managing your own AI models.
The strategic advantages of "Sovereign AI," from enhanced data privacy to long-term cost savings.
An investor's perspective on the future of decentralized vs. centralized AI infrastructure.
This session is essential for developers, startup founders, technical leaders, and anyone interested in moving beyond API calls to gain true ownership and a competitive edge with their AI implementations.
