Self-Hosted Local LLM for NetSuite: Own Your AI Weights, Pay $0.00 Per Token, and Keep 100% of Your ERP Data Inside Your Firewall
Replaces metered commercial LLM APIs and per-page SaaS wrappers with an open-weight Dual-Tier Local LLM stack (vLLM Qwen2.5-VL + Llama-3.3-70B or Ollama + Docling) inside an air-gapped Docker network (internal: true), cutting 3-year AI inference TCO by 78%–92% (modeled) at $0.00 per token. See the results ledger for the rows behind this lever.
The two liabilities of metered cloud LLM APIs for NetSuite
Every multi-page vendor invoice, customer purchase order, and full-environment NetSuite X-Ray diagnostic consumes thousands of tokens. At enterprise scale (25,000+ documents per month and 40+ ERP users), metered cloud API bills and per-page SaaS markups compound into $162,000 to $342,000 over a 36-month hold (modeled)—while streaming your raw transactionaccountingline rows and vendor ACH details across third-party APIs.

| Architecture Layer | Tier 1: Enterprise Rack / Private VPC (vLLM) | Tier 2: Single-Node Edge Appliance (Ollama) |
|---|---|---|
| Vision / OCR Model | Qwen2.5-VL-7B/32B-Instruct-AWQ via vLLM | Ollama (qwen2.5vl:7b / llama3.2-vision) + Docling |
| ERP Reasoning & SuiteQL Model | Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct / Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-AWQ | Ollama (qwen2.5-coder:32b / llama3.3:70b-q4_K_M) |
| Hardware Footprint | 1x–2x NVIDIA L40S (48GB) or A100/H100 in Private VPC or 2U Rack | 1x RTX 4090 (24GB) Workstation or Mac Studio M2/M3 Ultra (128GB) |
| Network Isolation | do_sovereign_inference_net (internal: true, zero outbound internet) | 100% air-gapped local warehouse / office appliance |
| Marginal Token Cost | $0.00 / token and $0.00 / page | $0.00 / token and $0.00 / page |

Frequently asked questions
How do we verify that the local LLM containers cannot phone home to the internet?
In docker-compose.yml, both the vLLM and Ollama inference services attach exclusively to do_sovereign_inference_net with internal: true and VLLM_NO_USAGE_STATS=1. The OS kernel drops any outbound packet from the inference containers before it can reach an external gateway.
What is the setup cost and timeline for the Sovereign Self-Hosted Local LLM Stack?
$18,500 flat fee for the 14-day production sprint, deployed onto your Private VPC GPU instance or on-premise appliance and backed by our written 10x fee guarantee.
