Having worked in / adjacent several such industries, a lot of the question depends on scale. A trillion-dollar business can easily trade dollars for the privacy. A business with $1M to spend won't even get a phone call with OpenAI or Anthropic, who were the only* previous players in town for doing this. Worst-case example: Bootstrapped startup working in military. It's also the case that an open model enables many more intermediate-cost solutions. E.g. providers certified for specific applications, on-prem rentals, etc. * Omitting Azure, which gives some privacy for some $$$ on their models, but not at the level of high-security. | ||

> 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. | ||
