Quick answers
- What is the difference between rented AI and owned AI?
- Rented AI refers to general-purpose foundation models available to everyone that only improve when the provider ships updates. Owned AI is trained on your proprietary data and keeps learning from your production traffic, providing compounding value you own.
- How does AI21 ensure data security and privacy?
- AI21 is committed to international privacy and security regulations. Data is kept in the customer's infrastructure or AI21's secure environment with no data retention, temporary scoped access for experts with full audit trails, and complete traceability of all outputs.
- What do customers own after working with AI21?
- At the end of the engagement, customers own the model weights, the custom training recipe developed specifically for their task, and the evaluation suite used to measure performance.
- How long does it take to develop a specialized model with AI21?
- Your first model ships in weeks. After deployment, customers can lead new training runs using the recipe and evaluation suite provided by AI21's FDR team, allowing the model to improve continuously on fresh production data.
