Hybrid Deployment
Hybrid is the pragmatic default for most businesses: everyday private agents run locally for control and predictable cost, while heavy or occasional jobs burst to the cloud.
Best for
Most real deployments — control and cost locally, elasticity in the cloud for peaks and frontier models.
How it works
Your local appliance/server handles steady, sensitive work; the OS routes overflow or the largest jobs to cloud GPUs, then returns results.
All deployment options
Local appliance
A quiet box on-site running your agents. Lowest cost per request and full data residency for a single office or property.
Best for: SMBs, single sites, confidential data, predictable everyday workloads.
On-prem server
A workstation or server in your rack or closet, serving many agents and larger models to a whole team or department.
Best for: Departments, regulated data, high steady volume, multi-agent platforms.
Cloud GPU
Rented GPUs in your own cloud account for bursts, the largest models, or before you've validated volume — no hardware to own.
Best for: Spiky demand, frontier models, pilots, overflow capacity.

Frequently asked questions
Why is hybrid the most common choice?+
It keeps sensitive, steady work private and cheap on local hardware while still absorbing spikes and accessing frontier models via the cloud.
