I’m really interested in this space from an AI sovereignty pov. Is it feasible for SMB/SME to use a box like in the article to get offline analysis of their data? It doesn’t have the worry of sending it off to the cloud.

I wanted to speak with businesses in my local area but no one took me up on it.

Yes, this is absolutely doable, and many companies are rolling their own ML models (I work with a MedTech company that does, in fact). LLMs are a little more involved, and you'd probably want something beefier than this (maybe a Framework Desktop cluster, if you're not wanting to get into rackmount stuff), but it's definitely feasible for companies to have their own offline LLMs and ML models.
