Private AI vs
Cloud AI.

Q: "Why should I consider private AI over cloud-based solutions?"

"Private AI keeps your data under your full control — on your servers or in European cloud infrastructure. This eliminates GDPR transfer risks, prevents vendor lock-in, and ensures compliance with the EU AI Act. For businesses handling sensitive data, it's increasingly the safer and more cost-effective choice."

Q: "Is private AI as capable as ChatGPT or Copilot?"

"Yes. Modern open-source models like Mistral, LLaMA, DeepSeek, and Qwen match or exceed GPT-4 on many business tasks. HTX's solutions provide the same conversational AI, document analysis, and code generation capabilities — without sending your data to US servers."

Q: "How do I decide which deployment model is right for my company?"

"It depends on your data sensitivity, user count, and budget. Our comparison pages below break down the trade-offs for each scenario, and our free AI Readiness Assessment helps you evaluate your specific situation."

The landscape

Why companies are re-evaluating their AI strategy.

77% of employees paste company data into ChatGPT. Italy fined OpenAI €15M for GDPR violations. Samsung banned ChatGPT after a source code leak. The EU AI Act introduces new compliance obligations from 2025. These aren't hypothetical risks — they're today's reality.

Whether you're evaluating ChatGPT Enterprise, Microsoft Copilot, or building your own AI infrastructure, the choice has long-term implications for data sovereignty, compliance, and total cost of ownership. Our comparison pages give you the full picture.
