Any more information on "Privacy first"? It seems pretty thin if just not retaining data.
For Draw Things provided "Cloud Compute", we don't retain any data too (everything is done in RAM per request). But that is still unsatisfactory personally. We will soon add "privacy pass" support, but still not to the satisfactory. Transparency log that can be attested on the hardware would be nice (since we run our open-source gRPCServerCLI too), but I just don't know where to start.
I see no privacy advantage to working with Ollama, which can sell your data or have it subpoenaed just like anyone else.
In theory, "privacy pass" should help, as you can subpoena content, but cannot know who made these. But that is still thin (and Ollama not doing that too anyway).
I don't see a privacy policy and their desktop app is closed source. So, not encouraging.
[full disclosure I am working on something with actual privacy guarantees for LLM calls that does use a transparency log, etc.]
I’d love to learn more about your project. I’m using socialized cloud regions for AI security and they really lag the mainstream. Definitely need more options here.
Edit: emailed the address on the site in your profile, got an inbox does not exist error.
I would pay more if they let you run the models in Switzerland or some other GDPR respecting country, even if there was extra latency. I would also hope everything is being sent over SSL or something similar.
I had to do a double take here. Switzerland surely isn’t in the GDPR, so you mean their own privacy laws or GDPR in the EU?
