Self-hosted AI avatar

Definition

A self-hosted AI avatar is an AI Avatar model that runs on infrastructure you control, either on-premise or in your private cloud, rather than as a service in the vendor's cloud. It gives you control over where conversation data goes and how the system is secured.

How self-hosting works

You receive the model and software and run them on your own GPUs. Your team owns networking, access, monitoring and scaling, and the vendor provides updates and support.

Many AI Avatar products are offered only as a hosted service, so check early whether a vendor offers self-hosting, and on which infrastructure.

How Beyond Presence does it

Beyond Presence offers Genesis 2.0 for self-hosting on-prem or in your private cloud, as well as in its EU cloud. One entry-level NVIDIA GPU runs 12 live 1080p Avatars. See enterprise deployment options.
