Indie Tech Sage focuses on responsible Generative AI solution design, development, and operations; leveraging open source technology and tools including Ollama, vLLM, and ComfyUI with leading open-weight models.

There is no ROI related to the use of LLMs (if you’re waiting for one, you’re being conned), so Indie Tech Sage focuses on designing the most cost-effective AI technology stacks possible using only open-weight models and open source tools.

The sad truth is that proprietary “frontier” models are black-box roulette wheels that might provide something of value; but probably not. They cost considerably more to run than they will ever generate in value while simultaneously exposing your valuable data to organizations that should not be trusted with it.

Ensuring complete transparency across all aspects of the AI stack and its costs, including weights, tokens, and power consumption, is critical to maintaining a sane balance of Generative AI-derived value versus cost.

So, if you’re starting to realize that the AI “boom” is actually a grift, you’re right!
