What is Private AI?
Private AI is an AI deployment in which your content is never sent to a shared public model service and is never used for training. It runs in a single-tenant environment - your cloud account, your data centre, or a dedicated sovereign region - with isolated storage and isolated inference.
Also known as: on-premise AI, self-hosted AI.
The line that matters is tenancy. A public API with a no-training promise still means your prompts travel to shared infrastructure operated by someone else. A private deployment means the compute serving your answers serves only you.
Private does not have to mean slow or old. Modern open-weight models run well on dedicated GPUs, and for most enterprise knowledge work the quality ceiling is set by retrieval quality, not by the frontier model.
How Uthereal handles it
Uthereal ships the same product in three shapes: Swiss-hosted, your cloud tenant, or fully on-premise with no outbound network path.
Auf Deutsch: Private KI
Private KI bezeichnet KI-Systeme, bei denen Inhalte nie an öffentliche Modelldienste gesendet und nie für Training verwendet werden. Betrieb erfolgt in einer dedizierten Umgebung - eigene Cloud, eigenes Rechenzentrum oder souveräne Region.
