Field notes from Tangi Iigonda

Blog

Notes from inside the workshop on self-hosted AI, data sovereignty, bring-your-own-key pricing, and agent design. We write about the problems that pushed us off hosted AI, the trade-offs we accepted to ship an open-source runtime, and the patterns we keep seeing as we talk to founders, operators, and platform teams. The posts are short, opinionated, and grounded in real deployments. No thought-leadership, no listicles, no sponsored takes. Just the engineering and business decisions behind Tangison Agent.

Two posts to start the conversation

We launched the blog with two pieces that frame why Tangison Agent exists. The first explains the architecture decision to self-host. The second explains the business decision to refuse the token markup. Together they answer the two questions every founder asks us first: where does the agent run, and who pays for the model. More posts will follow as we ship skills, channels, and customer stories. If there is a topic you want us to cover, message Tangi on WhatsApp and tell him.

Bring your own model key: a sovereignty-first pricing model

Most AI SaaS resells model access at a 1.5x to 3x markup. We chose a model where Tangison never sees your key, never sees your bill, and never marks up your usage. This post explains how BYO key works, what you gain, and what we gain from refusing to resell your compute.
