THE STACK PREMISE

AI frameworks change constantly; engineering fundamentals endure. We build modular, vendor-agnostic systems chosen for longevity, not novelty.

Selecting the wrong AI tech stack locks your organization into bloated GPU cloud bills and architectural dead-ends. Steigern Tech evaluates your specific concurrency, latency, and compliance requirements to engineer a lean, long-term tech stack.

MODULAR

Decoupled architecture

Abstracted service interfaces that allow replacing a model or vector database with zero disruption to frontend user interfaces.

PROVEN

Production stability

Prioritizing battle-tested open-source libraries that handle high-concurrency enterprise workloads reliably.

INDEPENDENT

Zero vendor lock-in

Full architectural freedom to migrate from commercial cloud APIs to private self-hosted weights as your operational volume scales.

OUR TECHNOLOGY LAYERS

Six modular layers, built to scale.

Stack selection is an engineering trade-off: balancing framework ergonomics against runtime performance. We benchmark latency, memory footprint, and compute unit economics before writing production code.

01Frontier Intelligence

Frontier LLM integration

OpenAI GPT-4o, Anthropic Claude 3.7, and Google Gemini 2.0 utilized for deep analytical reasoning and multimodal comprehension.

02Open Weights

Private open-source weights

Meta Llama 3.3, Mistral Large, and DeepSeek running on private vLLM clusters for full privacy and sub-100ms latency.

03Vector Storage

Vector indexing & retrieval

PostgreSQL pgvector, Pinecone, and Weaviate delivering high-precision hybrid semantic and keyword retrieval.

04Orchestration

Agent graphs & microservices

LangGraph, FastAPI, and Celery managing complex multi-agent state machines and asynchronous task queues.

05Serving & Hardware

Inference servers & acceleration

vLLM, Ollama, TensorRT, and CUDA optimization delivering high-throughput batching on cloud and edge hardware.

06Telemetry

Observability & quality tracking

Prometheus, Grafana, MLflow, and OpenTelemetry monitoring production latency, cost, and prediction accuracy 24/7.

HOW WE ARCHITECT STACKS

From architectural confusion to a proven tech stack, sized for enterprise scale.

We don't guess hardware requirements. We profile inference throughput, memory bandwidth, and token economics on real workloads.

01

Workload profiling

Benchmark expected request concurrency, input/output payload sizes, and SLA latency targets across your application surfaces.

02

Compute & hardware sizing

Calculate GPU VRAM requirements, CPU fallbacks, quantization trade-offs, and multi-tenant scaling models.

03

Framework tournament

Compare vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, Triton, and Ollama on identical hardware to identify maximum throughput per dollar.

04

Reference architecture POC

Deploy working benchmark harness demonstrating latency and token cost baselines on your sample queries.

05

Cost & cloud optimization

Negotiate cloud GPU spot instances, reserve pricing, or on-prem hardware clusters to cut inference bills by up to 60%.

06

Architecture contract handover

Deliver detailed architecture blueprints, container specifications, and Terraform provisioning scripts.
