    What about the model? My understanding is those queries are saved by the model provider.

    Given this administration, and the privacy issues with the official WH app, this feels very misleading.

      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?

            I wouldn’t call it an air gap, but when you use a model on Bedrock or Vertex the inference runs on Amazon or Google’s servers respectively. The model provider gives them the weights, and is not otherwise in the loop for serving individual requests.
