Co-creating with AI: DIY AI: The Power of Self-Hosting

In this episode, we delve deep into the pros and cons of hosting your own AI models versus using APIs. We firmly believe that hosting our own models provides greater flexibility and control, despite its challenging nature and need for more technical acumen. On the contrary, APIs, while convenient and fast, may pose restrictions in customization and may be cost-intensive. We emphasize the crucial role of reliability, latency, and data privacy in the decision-making process and suggest that the choice ultimately boils down to individual use-case specifications and requirements.
