Production AI Radar

Self-hosted inference (vLLM)

Serve open-weight models on your GPUs with OpenAI-compatible APIs and PagedAttention throughput.

Why this ring
Assess for sovereignty and unit economics once GPU ops and autoscaling exist - not as a day-one shortcut.
Production risk if ignored
GPU ops understaffed → outages and idle burn that exceed API bills.
EU AI Act relevance
Can support data residency and subprocessor reduction for regulated workloads.
Typical effort
months
High FinOps impact

Use cases

  • EU sovereign inference
  • High-volume fixed-cost serving
  • Open-weight models

Adoption steps

  1. Benchmark tokens/$ vs API
  2. Pilot one model on GPU pool
  3. Autoscaling + OpenCost labels
  4. Failover to managed API
