Frequently Asked Questions
What is Prem's pricing model?▾
Prem is open-source and free to self-host. Costs depend on your infrastructure—whether you run it locally or on cloud servers—rather than subscription fees to the platform itself.
How steep is the learning curve for getting started?▾
Prem uses containerization to simplify deployment, but setup requires basic familiarity with Docker and command-line tools. The dashboard and REST/Python APIs provide straightforward interfaces once running.
What APIs and integrations does Prem support?▾
Prem offers REST and Python APIs for model interaction, plus a model management dashboard. Integration depends on your self-hosted environment—you connect via standard HTTP calls or Python SDK rather than third-party connectors.
What is the main limitation of Prem?▾
Self-hosting requires DevOps expertise and infrastructure maintenance responsibility. You manage scaling, updates, and security—unlike fully managed services—which adds operational overhead.
What is Prem best used for?▾
Prem is ideal for teams needing complete data privacy, avoiding vendor lock-in, or running custom open-source model combinations on-premises or private cloud infrastructure.
