GitLab launched version 17.9 on February 20, 2025, enhancing user experience with the introduction of GitLab Duo Self-Hosted. This enables organizations to deploy large language models (LLMs) internally, allowing for AI-driven features like code suggestions and chat. By using on-premises or private clouds, firms can secure sensitive data against external threats, crucial for sectors with strict compliance demands. Joel Krooswyk emphasized the trend towards self-hosting despite a rise in SaaS adoption, citing control over data privacy and compliance as key factors. Real-time AI applications benefit from reduced latency by avoiding external service calls.
On February 20, 2025, GitLab's version 17.9 was released, introducing GitLab Duo Self-Hosted for deploying large language models within organizations' infrastructure.
Organizations that deploy LLMs within their own infrastructure avoid exposing proprietary code or sensitive business data to external AI providers.
Joel Krooswyk stated that even with the rise of SaaS, many organizations prefer self-hosting to meet regulatory and data privacy concerns.
Running LLMs on-premises allows organizations to eliminate latency associated with external API calls, which is crucial for real-time AI applications.
