Lol, saying you are “beginning a process designed to delete your data” is a very different thing to actually deleting your data.

      This is any company, government, or other organisation with +80 employees. The two other alternatives are

      1. Have all data in Excel with no data governance, robust procedures, or trust in data, as the organisation grows in size
      2. Use only external tools (which in turn are owned by organisations that work like I described in my parent comment)

      I’d love to hear of there’s other ways of doing this stuff that actually works, but so far I just haven’t experienced it in my career yet.

        I’m not disputing the technical aspect. But due to these realities I prefer to drastically limit the services I interact with.

          Aha I misunderstood, thanks for clarifying.

          Actually for this specific context, there’s an easy solution: I reckon for llms self-hosting would be the way to go, if your hardware supports it. I’ve heard a lot of the smaller models have gotten a lot more powerful over the last year.

            Small fine tuned models seem to be where the market as a whole is headed. Even the big players like OpenAI/Google/Meta are doing this as a means to optimize infrastructure. The Qwen3 models have been really interesting to work with.
