LILT can be installed on custom hardware in a private data center or on major cloud platforms. The tables below provide approximate monthly cost estimates for running the base LILT system V4 models in a cloud environment. These estimates include long-term pricing discounts where applicable. However, resources (especially storage) may need to be increased to suit your needs. These costs reflect the cloud platform vendor’s pricing at the time of publication and are not guaranteed. Network, bandwidth, security groups, permission management, and other platform costs are not included in these estimates. Interested in installing LILT’s self-managed solution?

In addition to the core deployment, several optional services require extra GPU resources:
  • LILT Create and OCR — These optional services require additional GPUs as outlined in the resource table above.
  • Uzbek and Chechen Language Support — Provided through our dedicated Emma model, which requires one L4 or A10 GPU with at least 24GB VRAM.
  • ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) — GPU-accelerated ASR requires one additional T4 GPU with 16 GB VRAM. By default, it runs on CPU.
