Private AI Estimator Book a call

Private AI cost estimator

What would private AI cost your firm?

Tell us about your team and what you want AI to do. We'll estimate the hardware you'd need, your three-year cost, and how it compares with cloud AI subscriptions.

Your documents, prompts and client information stay on hardware you control.

Start with an example

Step 1

Tell us about your firm

people

About how many would use AI?

A few people. A small group trying it out. About half the firm. Many people, not everyone. Most of the firm. Widespread day-to-day use. Everyone. Part of how the firm works.

About people using AI

How often would they use it?

A few times per day. Email drafts, questions, quick research. Throughout the workday. Drafting, research, documents and summaries. Part of daily workflows. Large documents, frequent analysis, automated processes.

Step 2

What would your team use AI for?

Select any that apply. You can explore.

Step 3

Let Mojave recommend the AI

Advanced options — I know which models I want

Most firms can skip this. Switch a model to its earlier version, or turn one on. Hardware choices stay on the estimate.

    Private AI vs cloud AI

    What would you otherwise spend on cloud AI?

    Typical AI subscription. We use this to estimate your potential break-even point.

    This only changes the monthly power estimate. A typical commercial rate is fine for a first look.

    Why run AI privately?

    Client data stays in the office

    Prompts, documents and answers never pass through a third-party AI provider. That makes it much easier to meet your Written Information Security Plan, FTC Safeguards Rule and IRS Publication 4557 obligations.

    Fits controlled environments

    For defense contractors handling CUI, an on-premises model avoids sending controlled information to commercial cloud AI services. Mojave scopes it into your CMMC boundary.

    Fixed cost, no per-seat creep

    You buy the hardware once instead of paying monthly per-user subscriptions that grow with headcount. Open-weight models have no per-token fees.

    Works with the tools you have

    WiCi One provides an OpenAI-compatible API, so many existing chat apps, document tools and integrations can point at it instead of the cloud.
