00Deployment / On-premise + local models

GenBI that never leavesyour network.

Local models, your hardware. Prompts, schema, and answers never leave your network — and inference cost stays fixed as questions grow.

Everything runs inside your boundary.

The context layer, the GenBI agent, and the model all deploy on your infrastructure — your security review has nothing external to chase.

Local LLM

Validated open-weight models served by Ollama, vLLM, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

01

Data residency by architecture

Data can't cross a border it never approaches — residency is met by the architecture, not a vendor contract.

02

Air-gapped ready

Runs on networks with no internet route at all. Included with Enterprise Plus.

03

Governed by default

Permission-aware SQL, audit logs, and a constrained query surface keep every answer inside policy.

02Local models

Local models, validated for GenBI.

The LLM is a pluggable endpoint. Serve a validated model with Ollama or vLLM, point Wren AI at your base URL, and keep the same workflow you'd get in the cloud.

  • 01

    A tested, validated model list

    We benchmark open-weight models on real GenBI workloads and recommend only the ones that pass.

  • 02

    The context layer does the heavy lifting

    Schema, joins, and business definitions travel with every request, so local models write governed SQL instead of guessing.

  • 03

    Swap models without re-platforming

    A newer validated model is a config change — modeling, permissions, and saved questions carry over.

03Economics

Pay for machines, not tokens.

Every question, report, and agent run is an LLM call. On metered APIs that bill compounds with adoption; on your own hardware it's a capacity plan.

Licensing

Concurrent sessions, not seats.

Self-hosted licensing counts simultaneous active sessions — never named users.

One session

Count same as UI

The bigger the rollout, the stronger the case — every dashboard, report, and agent runs on inference you already own.

04 / Scale

Built for large-scale GenBI rollouts.

Standard containers, on infrastructure you size yourself — already proving out in production.

05Getting there

Choose your self-hosted plan.

Both run in your infrastructure with local models and unlimited users — the difference is how much of the rollout we deliver with you.

Plan 01 / Business

Wren AI Business

The full self-hosted platform, for teams who run their own infrastructure.

  • Full platform: UI, dashboards, governance
  • Runs in your own cloud or data center
  • Unlimited users, starts at 5 concurrent sessions
  • Standard support
Plan 02 / Enterprise Plus

Wren AI Enterprise Plus

For regulated industries and organization-wide rollouts that need a formal security review and vendor-led delivery.

  • On-prem and air-gapped deployment included
  • SSO and SCIM 2.0
  • Unlimited users, starts at 10 concurrent sessions
  • Vendor-led onboarding, procurement and security review
FAQ / On-premise

On-premise questions, answered.

Wren AI runs against a curated set of open-weight models we test for SQL accuracy on GenBI workloads, served through any OpenAI-compatible endpoint such as Ollama or vLLM. We share the current validated list during your evaluation, and moving to a newer validated model is a configuration change, not a migration.

Yes. The context layer, the GenBI agent, and the model all run inside your network, so the deployment works with no internet route at all. On-prem and air-gapped deployment support is included in the Enterprise Plus plan.

Wren AI never sends a raw question to a bare model. Every request is grounded in your context layer (schema, joins, metrics, and permissions), which narrows the model's job. That grounding is what made up to an 80% query hit rate possible at Phison on fully on-prem infrastructure.

Two fixed parts: inference runs on hardware you provision, so the cost per question falls as usage grows, and the Wren AI license is priced by concurrent sessions rather than seats, with unlimited users. Business starts at 5 concurrent sessions and Enterprise Plus at 10; estimate your sessions or compare plans on the pricing page.

A concurrent session is a single LLM-driven request to Wren AI (a question, chart, report, or GenBI App), counted from request to output, whether it comes from the UI, API, Teams, Slack, or MCP. Licensing counts simultaneous active sessions, not named users; as a guide, one concurrent session supports around five active users.

Schedule a demo. We scope your deployment, share the validated local-model list, and set up a pilot in your environment on the Business or Enterprise Plus plan, so what you evaluate is exactly what you roll out.

Bring GenBI inside your firewall.

We'll walk your data and security teams through a self-hosted rollout with local models.
