Open weights let suppliers compete to serve the same model. If the price stops making sense, you can take your business elsewhere without giving up the model. That's useful even if you never plan to own a GPU.

Private AI shouldn't be an enterprise upsell. The person with a $10 compute budget has just as much reason to keep a prompt private as the company with a procurement department.

You shouldn't need to hand over your identity to buy compute. On Charis, you can connect a wallet and pay for inference with USDC. No KYC. No credit card required.

Unless its run in a verifiably private manner, your data is still exposed Model choice is one thing. Provider choice and privacy transparency are another
