Alpine Icicle
AI Deployment

Intelligence at Production
Altitude

Alpine Icicle integrates AI into SaaS platforms and deploys it on your own hardware — engineered for data sovereignty, real throughput, and measurable results.

What We Build

SaaS AI Enablement

We integrate AI agents into your existing SaaS. Users get natural language access to production data through tool-calling architecture with full observability and measurable performance — not just an API wired up, but a system validated by real benchmarks.

  • Tool-calling agent architecture
  • TimescaleDB & MongoDB backends
  • Provider-agnostic via Vercel AI SDK
  • Langfuse observability

On-Premises AI

We deploy a complete local AI stack on your hardware — inference, RAG, orchestration, and agent workflows running at frontier-class performance with zero cloud dependency. Your data never leaves the building.

  • llama.cpp inference at 53 tok/s
  • Open WebUI + n8n orchestration
  • ChromaDB vector store & RAG
  • Slack, chat, and coding agents
Case Studies

Deployed in the Real World

Both use cases come from production work — not demos.

Challenge

Users of a traffic monitoring SaaS needed natural language access to data across multiple modules — building a dedicated view for every combination of inputs wasn't viable.

Architecture

Seven tool-calling agents with Zod-validated schemas, backed by TimescaleDB (hypertable time series, 10–20× compressed) and MongoDB. Vercel AI SDK provides model-agnostic abstraction. Langfuse tracks every token and tool call.

Benchmark Result

Generic LLM-generated MongoDB queries achieved 100% success (18/18) at 4,539 tokens and 5.8s average response — 12× fewer tokens and 3× faster than specialized tool-per-query approach (44%, 54,849 tokens, 15.4s).

Why On-Premises

Your Data. Your Hardware. Your Stack.

Four reasons teams choose local AI deployment over cloud APIs.

Data Privacy & Compliance

Sensitive data never leaves the building. Meet GDPR, HIPAA, and data residency requirements by design — no DPAs, no third-party processor risk.

Operational Independence

No internet dependency, no vendor outages, no surprise API deprecations. The stack runs whether the cloud is up or not.

Full Control & Auditability

Choose any model, swap versions instantly, fine-tune on proprietary data. Full visibility into what runs, what data it sees, and what gets logged.

Predictable Cost at Scale

One-time hardware investment, zero per-token billing. No usage spikes, no metering surprises — cost decouples from adoption.
