How do you give an on-premise AI model access to private company data—without compromising security or sending sensitive files to the cloud?

In Episode 3 of our On-Premise AI video series, we explore the foundations of private AI: connecting your organization’s knowledge securely, teaching a model for your workflow, and building an on-premise AI coding assistant.

For teams working with sensitive data, on-prem AI can offer more control over where information lives, who can access it, and how it is used.

How do you give AI access to your company’s private data without sending sensitive files to the cloud?

In Episode 3 of our On-Premise AI series, we break down how to securely connect an on-premise AI model to internal company data, teach it about your environment, and turn it into a private AI coding assistant.

Your data stays on-prem. Your AI gets smarter.

Episode 3 is live on YouTube.

AI is moving fast. But how do you actually put it to work?

At the 4th Annual 45Drives Creator Summit, we’re going beyond the hype to explore:

Enterprise: How to build on-prem AI infrastructure, protect data sovereignty, and support high-performance workloads.

Creative: How AI is changing real creative workflows where it helps, where it falls short, and what’s next.

Real experiences. Live demos. Practical conversations with the people actually using and building this technology.

How do you give an on-premise AI model access to your private company data without sending sensitive information to the cloud?

One answer is RAG, or Retrieval-Augmented Generation.

RAG allows a local LLM to retrieve information from your organization’s documents and use those facts to generate more accurate, relevant answers without retraining the entire AI model.

In Episode 2 of our On-Prem AI series, Brett breaks down how an on-premise RAG pipeline works, including document ingestion, embeddings, vector databases, retrieval and local LLMs.

If you’re exploring private AI, local LLMs or secure enterprise AI infrastructure, watch the full video to see how RAG can connect your AI to your organization’s data while keeping that data on-prem: youtube.com/@45Drives by @45drives

Quantum computing isn’t just a future problem — organizations need to start preparing now.

In this clip from our latest What’s Spinnin’ podcast, the team at @Crypto4A breaks down two crucial first steps: acknowledging the quantum threat and understanding where cryptography exists across your organization.

That crypto inventory matters, especially as “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks create risk for sensitive data being collected today and decrypted in the future.

Is your organization ready for the post-quantum era?

🎙️ Watch the full podcast to learn more about post-quantum cryptography, next-generation HSMs, crypto agility, and how to prepare your enterprise data infrastructure for what’s next: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPdm2LU_ibg by @45drives

Running AI locally gives you more control over your data, infrastructure, and costs — but where do you start?

In our latest VM-Series video, Brett Kelly breaks down the hardware and software options for running LLMs on-prem, including tools like Ollama and vLLM.

In this clip, we take a closer look at Ollama and how it makes it easy to download, switch between, and test different AI models to find the right fit for your workload.

Whether you're experimenting with open-source models, building RAG pipelines, or planning production AI infrastructure, understanding your options is the first step.
