Local processing
Inference stays on eligible configured local providers.
PRACTICAL GUIDE
Compare local processing, policy-controlled hybrid routing and customer-hosted deployment without confusing model location with full operational control.
WHAT TO CONSIDER
Inference stays on eligible configured local providers.
Server policy may allow selected external routes for permitted tasks.
Customer-environment packaging also needs identity, updates, monitoring and recovery planning.
STEP BY STEP
Start with a small example. Clarify requirements and review the result before using it.
Identify which data may leave the environment.
Include files, logs, embeddings, backups and providers.
Check allowed routes and prohibited fallback.
Assign responsibility for access, maintenance and restore.
EXAMPLE WORKFLOW
An illustrative example using fictional data. It demonstrates an approach, not a real customer result.
Evaluate an internal document assistant with restricted external processing.
Data inventory → allowed deployment → routing-policy checks → access tests → operational acceptance.
Identify which data may leave the environment.
Assign responsibility for access, maintenance and restore.
On-premise is Beta. Private and dedicated deployments retain their stated readiness limits. A local model alone does not prove complete isolation, data residency or an air-gapped release.
