Like your ideas around legal and Healthcare. Both sectors where you've got interest and money. Another way might be to look at partnering with a service org who does transformation/modernization as a way to accelerate delivery. Maybe MSPs? They're always trying to figure out how to lean out.
An idea might be to try and get a vertical sooner rather than later. The only thing better than an interested lawyer would be a selection of curated templates and prompts designed by people in the industry for example. So you get orchestration and industry-specific aligned verts. Much easier sell than a general purpose platform. But then you're fighting with the other vertically integrated offerings.
Maybe there are other differentiators? If this is like bedrock for your network, maybe the angle is private models where you want them. Others are doing that though, so there's pretty active competition there as well.
The more technical and general the audience the more you're going to have to talk them out of just rolling openwebui themselves.
Yeah, totally fair. The “horizontal orchestration” story only goes so far — at some point you need vertical depth.
We’re starting with regulated enterprises (defense, healthcare, legal, fintech) where control and compliance actually matter. The same YAML-defined system can run in AWS, in a hospital, or fully air-gapped — no lock-in, no data leaving.
We’re building a few sample recipes to show it in action:
Legal: doc analysis + precedent search with local vector DBs
Healthcare: privacy-preserving RAG over clinical notes
Industrial/Defense: offline sensor or alert agents that sync later
Partnering with MSPs and modernization firms seems like the obvious path — they already have the relationships and budgets, and LlamaFarm gives them something repeatable to deploy.
Still figuring that out though — what’s the best way to actually get into the MSP funnel?
Follow on, great question (separately from John) can it run on Vulkan?
He was saying he has a hard time finding stuff that doesn’t only run on CUDA or ROCm and sees this as a huge opportunity
We are adding continuous model fine-tuning soon, and being able to bring extra horsepower into training is an opportunity. There is also a genuine opportunity to do the same thing with shared resources inside an internal server or VPC; timing and utilizing resources, such as GPUs, during off-hours to train, improve, etc., is a never-recovered opportunity that many enterprises leave on the table.
Any GPU that is not being used at 80% capacity needs to be put to work; we have a lot of work that can be done. (A lot of industries cannot lease their GPUs to the public due to regulatory issues).
