# Four camps, and where we sit.

Hardware makers sell you machines. Platforms sell you software. AI clouds rent you capacity in someone else’s building.

Zelleo provides infrastructure, a business platform and business-specific agents as one system, installed inside your business.

## 01 What each does well, and what it leaves to you.

What each camp does well

|  | Hardware AI factories | Software platforms | AI clouds | Private AI boxes | Zelleo |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Does well | Validated hardware designs with vendor AI software. | Model serving and MLOps on hardware you buy. | In-country GPUs and tools to tune and serve models. | A box that runs AI locally. | Infrastructure, platform and business-specific agents as one system. |
| Left to you | Use cases, data, business apps and governance. | The hardware, the apps, deciding what matters. | Your data still sits in someone else’s building, at ongoing rent. | Usually one model or app, with no business-specific agents. | Scale, track record and support are still growing. |

## Side by side

Capability by camp.

| Capability | AI factory | Platform | AI cloud | AI box | Zelleo |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hardware in your building | ✓ | separate | ✗ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Choice of AI model | partly | ✓ | ✓ | partly | ✓ |
| Configured for your operation and workload | partly | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✓ |
| Business-specific agents included | ✗ | ✗ | partly | one app | ✓ |
| Permissioned access to business records | ✗ | partly | partly | ✗ | ✓ |
| Decision review and model testing | ✗ | partly | partly | ✗ | ✓ |
| Budgeted training on dedicated servers | partly | partly | their cloud | ✗ | ✓ |
| Scale, track record, global support | ✓✓ | ✓ | ✓ | partly | growing |

The last row stays in on purpose: established vendors have more scale, a longer track record and wider support than we do today.
