Not necessarily - there are tons of zero data retention (ZDR) model hosting options, including big players like Amazon.

You can use all the flagship models on Amazon Bedrock and have a contractually obligated air gap between your data and the model providers.

How do you air gap between a model and the data it needs to operate?

Not sure, why do you ask?
