# Local AI Inference

Running AI model predictions directly on a user's device rather than sending data to cloud servers, providing privacy, lower latency, and no API costs.

## Business Value

Establishes reliable local ai inference infrastructure that ensures 99.9% availability for mission-critical AI applications.

## Context Studios Perspective

We design local ai inference systems that are resilient, observable, and cost-optimized — the three pillars of production AI infrastructure.
