Local-first design
Prefer on-device and on-prem before any cloud hop. Cloud is a choice, not the default.
Architecture, models, and products that never need your secrets on someone else’s GPU. Local, VPC, or air-gapped — with proof, not slogans.
Encryption in transit is table stakes. Who runs the inference box — and who can see the prompts — is the real deliverable.
Prefer on-device and on-prem before any cloud hop. Cloud is a choice, not the default.
EU and client-controlled regions only — written into the contract, not a slide.
Threat models, red-team notes, and least-privilege access by default.
High-end local GPU (incl. 5090-class) for private image and LLM work.
Map where data flows today and what must never leave the perimeter.
Retrieval stacks that stay inside your VPC or LAN.
Internal copilots without SaaS data leakage.
Local vision/gen workflows for regulated assets.
Define the protected data and every boundary it crosses before choosing a private AI hosting pattern.
Compare local GPU and private-cloud options by data path, infrastructure ownership, connectivity and recovery.
Map the processing roles and data lifecycle; assess processor terms, risk controls, transfers and DPIA needs.
