Even if one believes the price of models will only go up from frontier AI companies AND believe the local AI frontier will be fast enough at a good enough profile, it still doesn't explain how you're going to beat the price of a place hosting open weight models at scale on shared hardware always maxed out 100% in a place with cheap electricity by buying a single platform up front for 3 years.
Data sovereignty always makes sense in this case because it's explicitly not about cost, but I've not seen a convincing "it's actually cheaper to do it yourself" analysis that came to that conclusion by answering all of these things up front instead of just hoping it'll somehow get better by then.
