> Omitting Azure, which gives some privacy for some $$$ on their models, but not at the level of high-security.
If I were ranking third parties on their ability to safely handle my data without compromising it, I would rank Anthropic pretty low for things like Fable (where they more or less promise that they will misuse my data), but I want Azure pretty low in the sense that I fully expect them to be compromised.
I would tend to trust Amazon to avoid being compromised.
At least for regulated applications I worked on, no one cared.
The provider needs to comply with specific rules, have specific certifications, and sign specific agreements. You check the boxes, and you're good to go.
Microsoft does that better than anyone. OpenAI and Anthropic don't do that at all. Google does that rarely and poorly. AWS is not bad, but not as good as Microsoft.
Azure was always my go-to for regulated applications in the cloud. Some do require e.g. on-prem or even air gap, where even Azure is out.
The expectation that one BigTech company has a competent security team while the other doesn't seems entirely baseless?
There are situations where you don’t care about government spying but care about random criminals And there are situations that are the opposite
