On-premise AI exploration for SMEs

Problem: an SME wanted to use AI for document analysis but refused to send confidential data to cloud APIs (ChatGPT, Claude). Solution: deployment of a Mistral 7B model on-premise on dedicated GPU (local server), with RAG interface to query the internal document base. Result: functional AI with no data leaving the IS, operating cost under 200 euros/month, performance suited to the use case.
