Ask HN: How do you use AI for development in high security environments?

All the big providers offer no-training/retention guarantees (either by default, or as a toggle, or upon request). For many high security environments though I'd expect everything to be hosted on-prem or at minimum on company-controlled instances, which does limit your model options somewhat.

My employer has such contracts for some use cases, but actually forbids use of code completion/generation due to IP concerns.

I’ve worked with companies that would never trust publicly hosted models. But don’t have any issues with hosted models on AWS or Azure. But I work in cloud consulting so they already have to trust the cloud provider.

Yes this includes GovCloud implementations that have citizenship requirements and you can’t connect outside of the US.

I have not admittedly worked on any projects in the “secret” regions.

As someone else stated, there are enterprise services that offer solutions that make it so your company data isn't consumed, however, I think pretty soon we're going to see a lot of companies maintaining models locally in-house.

I think this is especially true given that Intel is shifting its focus toward an affordable in-house solution for training AI models locally with its upcoming GPUs.

Repeating what others have written based on my experience at the bank i work for- business offering will not use or save you data, and for more sensitive material we simply host it on prem
