## FAQ

### Which open-weight models can you host?

Any model whose weights you are licensed to run: Llama 3, Qwen, Mistral, Mixtral, Gemma, DeepSeek, Phi and fine-tuned variants of them. Share the Hugging Face repo and we confirm the GPU and serving stack.

### Why does an LLM need a GPU?

Each token the model generates needs billions of multiply-add operations and a full pass over the weights. A GPU keeps the weights in fast memory and runs those operations in parallel, so a 70B model answers in seconds instead of minutes on a CPU.

### How much GPU memory does my model need?

Roughly two bytes per parameter at 16-bit precision and about half a byte at 4-bit, plus memory for context. An 8B model needs about 16GB at full precision, so an L4 at ₹32,000 a month works. A 70B model needs an H100 at ₹1,80,000 with 4-bit weights, or an H200 at ₹2,20,000 for more precision and context.

### Does hosting the model in India make us DPDP compliant?

Hosting in India keeps the data in the country, which is one requirement among many. Your policies, consent handling, access controls and audits are still yours. We can describe exactly where data flows so your compliance team can document it.

### Is our data used to train anything?

No. The cards, the storage and the model are reserved for you. We do not log prompts or responses unless you ask us to for debugging, and we delete those logs when you say so.

### Can our apps keep using the OpenAI client library?

Yes. The serving stack exposes an OpenAI-compatible chat completions endpoint. Change the base URL and API key and the rest of your code stays the same.
