Suppose an LLM assistant needs access to sensitive maintenance manuals. Uploading those manuals to another company may be unacceptable, even if the service is convenient. Fine-tuning and running a model locally is an alternative when the information must remain private. section 1.2.2
The same constraint can keep a police analytics team from using a hosted assistant for its most valuable work: the data and conversations are too sensitive to expose. Privacy is therefore a build-versus-buy question, not just a feature to consider after choosing a model. Local deployment still calls for a safe, secure setup; building your own model does not settle that work by itself. section 1.2.2
