Where does a document go when you ask the AI?
One contract, one question, two possible roads. Scroll, and watch where it ends up.
You ask the AI in the cloud.
Upload the contract, ask the question, the answer arrives in seconds. Convenient. But to answer, the document has left your office.
And from there, it travels.
Every uploaded contract, every question, every draft crosses servers the firm doesn't control, under jurisdictions it didn't choose.
The bill arrives every month.
Sector AI platforms bill per user, per month, forever: current list prices between 250 and 415 CHF a month per professional on high-end legal platforms.
Source of the list prices and the argument: our article on the triple bill of cloud AI.
Then AG Core arrives.
The reason the cloud seemed mandatory — only a datacenter can run serious models — is no longer true. A desktop machine with unified memory now runs models with hundreds of billions of parameters.
Where are the documents? Here.
The model works on the machine in the office: documents, questions and drafts cross no external server. Pull the cable: it keeps working.
The bill, turned upside down.
You pay once for the machine, once for the tailored installation, and an annual maintenance fee. No per-user licence. No document on the move.
