Deployment notes

Use the managed API first and move to self-hosting only once residency or control is contractual. Benchmark the real runtime and quantisation, and add moderation and observability as separate services.

Watch before choosing

Open weights shift optimisation, safety filtering and capacity planning onto the operator; self-hosting is a real commitment. A trillion-parameter footprint demands multi-node serving; validate quantisation and license terms before committing to self-hosting.
