Run AI Models on Your Own Infrastructure
Deploy open-source language models on your own dedicated server in our data centers. Full root access. Your data never leaves. Zero egress fees. No per-token API costs.
What is Private LLM Hosting?
Private LLM hosting means running open-source AI language models — like Llama, Qwen, Mistral, and Gemma — on dedicated hardware that you control. Instead of sending every prompt to a cloud API and paying per token, your model runs on infrastructure in our data center with dedicated compute, memory, and GPU resources. Your data never touches a third-party API. There are no per-token charges, no rate limits, and no surprise bills.
Data Privacy
Every prompt sent to OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google touches external servers. For companies handling sensitive data, that's a compliance risk.
Cost Predictability
Per-token pricing scales unpredictably. A single busy chatbot can generate thousands of dollars in monthly API costs.
No Vendor Lock-in
Open-source models run on standard hardware. Switch models anytime without changing providers.
Zero Egress Fees
Inference responses are data transfer. On AWS or GCP, that's metered egress. On Bit Refinery, it's $0.

How It Works
Tell Us What You Need
Share your use case — which models you want to run, how many users, what compliance requirements. We'll design a deployment tailored to your workload and budget.
Choose Your Model
Select from any open-source or custom model — Qwen, Llama, Mistral, Gemma, DeepSeek, Phi, and hundreds more, or bring your own fine-tuned model. We deploy it using production-grade inference engines like vLLM, Ollama, or llama.cpp.
Get Your Dedicated Server
Your dedicated server is custom-built for your workload — with or without GPU. Full root access, a managed firewall, your choice of inference engine, and an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint ready to go.
Scale When You Need To
Add models. Increase capacity. Move to multi-model deployments. Scale down if your needs change. Month-to-month, no long-term contracts.
Choose the Right Model for Your Workload
You don't need a 400-billion-parameter frontier model for most business tasks. Modern small language models in the 7B–30B range deliver 80–90% of frontier model quality on focused tasks — at a fraction of the cost.

|---|---|---|---|
| 500K | ~$2,250 | ~$225 | Fixed monthly rate |
| 2M | ~$9,000 | ~$900 | Fixed monthly rate |
| 10M | ~$45,000 | ~$4,500 | Fixed monthly rate |
| 50M | ~$225,000 | ~$22,500 | Fixed monthly rate |
Cloud API pricing based on published per-token rates as of April 2026. Bit Refinery pricing is fixed regardless of token volume.
vs. RunPod Cloud GPU (24/7 inference)
| GPU | RunPod Hourly | RunPod 24/7 Monthly | Bit Refinery |
|---|---|---|---|
| RTX 4090 (24 GB) | ~$0.44/hr | ~$317/mo | Custom quote — dedicated, fully managed |
| L4 (24 GB) | ~$0.24/hr | ~$173/mo | Custom quote — dedicated, fully managed |
| A100 80 GB | ~$1.64/hr | ~$1,181/mo | Custom quote — dedicated, fully managed |
| H100 SXM | ~$3.35/hr | ~$2,412/mo | Custom quote — dedicated, fully managed |
RunPod pricing from runpod.io/pricing (Community Cloud, April 2026). Does not include storage costs ($0.07–$0.20/GB/mo). Bit Refinery includes storage, management, monitoring, and $0 egress.
RunPod charges per hour. Cloud APIs charge per token. Bit Refinery charges a flat monthly rate. At low or bursty usage, per-hour pricing can be cheaper. At sustained 24/7 inference — which is what most production AI workloads look like — fixed monthly pricing eliminates billing surprises and typically costs less when you factor in management overhead, egress, and storage.
