CHOOSE YOUR ACCESS PATH

The model is only part of the decision.

Where it runs affects setup, cost, data handling, and the claims you can verify.

01

Run it locally

Keep model execution on a machine you control. Check the exact weights, license, memory requirement, context setting, and performance of the version you plan to run.

02

Use a hosted API

Let a provider run the model. Compare its pricing, retention terms, logging, and available model version before sending sensitive material.

03

Use Maple

For models we offer, use a hosted path with Maple’s client encryption and protected inference architecture. Review what the service can verify and what account or usage metadata remains.
