Best Air-Gapped LLM Stack: Apache Weights on vLLM Beat NVIDIA's Fee
For air-gapped LLMs, run Apache-2.0 weights like gpt-oss-120b on vLLM, via Red Hat AI if you need a vendor. NVIDIA AI Enterprise's per-GPU fee is the loser, and an 8-GPU air-gapped node costs 30-40x the hosted API at 1B tokens a month, and even two GPUs cost about 9x.
