About this tag
The sitehost tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about SiteHost, a New Zealand-based hosting provider, and its AI Platform. The platform offers locally hosted generative AI models, such as Qwen, via an API, with a focus on data residency within New Zealand. Key topics include the service's billing model, which is token-based rather than subscription-based, and the handling of prompts and documents, which are processed locally.
