Best Bytes AI · Bellevue, WA
AI adoption without the magic.
Safe, predictable, and running on hardware you already own — behind software you can walk away from. We help you find the work worth doing, stand it up, and stay until your people are actually using it.
What we hold to
Five commitments, and two of them are refusals.
Most AI vendors ask you to trust a system you cannot inspect, priced by a meter you cannot predict, on infrastructure you do not control. We think adoption should work the other way round.
How an engagement runs
You buy a small first step, not a large commitment.
Discovery is short and bounded. The real number appears in the proposal, grounded in what discovery actually found — not in a guess made before anyone looked at your systems.
- 01
Discovery
Where AI applies in your business, what it is worth, and — just as usefully — what to leave alone. A few days, priced up front.
- 02
Proposal
The plan, the architecture, and an implementation estimate you can hold us to. You decide whether to continue with real numbers in front of you.
- 03
Implementation
Deployment on your own hardware, custom development, integrations, data work — whatever the proposal scoped, built by the people who wrote it.
- 04
Support
Keeping the system correct as models change, needs change, and people move on. The stage most vendors leave to you.
- 05
Upgrades
New versions, new models, new capability — adopted deliberately rather than whenever a vendor decides to ship them.
Who is behind this
We built a decentralized AI network. Then we started helping others adopt one.
Best Bytes is not a consultancy that read about AI infrastructure. We operate it. Everything below is public and checkable, which is the point.
- PeerLLM
A decentralized inference network, live, with a public dashboard and honest fairness metrics. Built in a year. See it running →
- The Standard
An authored engineering standard for building distributed systems, translated by a global community — evidence of defining engineering practice, not just following it.
- 2.08M downloads
Across our open-source .NET libraries on NuGet. Independently verifiable adoption.
- Prior employment
Before founding Best Bytes, Hassan worked as a full-time employee at Microsoft, on the Xbox and Office subscription platforms and HoloLens 2, and at Amazon, in engineering management on AWS datacenter infrastructure. Systems used by hundreds of millions of people. His employment history, not Best Bytes engagements.
- Teaching
A 583K-subscriber engineering channel and a global open-source community. Coaching is not a side offer here; it is what we have done publicly for years.
The product
PeerLLM is the software. This is the team that runs it with you.
PeerLLM lets an organization run open-weight models across the compute it already owns — workstations, servers, on-premise or in your own cloud. Nothing leaves your perimeter, and there is no per-token bill.
The product, its pricing and its technical documentation live on peerllm.com. What we do here is the part software cannot do on its own: work out whether it fits, stand it up properly, and stay until it is genuinely in use.
