I’m not sure the OpenAI model is EU regulation compliant. It’s not just GDPR these days, the laws are ramping up to the point where we might not even be able to use Azure (as Microsoft unlike Amazon still can’t guarantee that only EU citizens work support on the services). This is obviously worse in some EU sectors than others, but I’m not sure I’ll ever work outside Green Energy, Public Sector or Finance so I’ll always have to deal with the harshest parts.

I wonder if one day they will sell a “self-hosted” version of GPT. We wouldn’t mind having a ChatGPT with its 2021 data set and no ability to use the internet if it meant it lives up to regulations.

But can you do that? Can you “download” a model and then just use it?

As far as the hardware goes I think we will be fine. My sector uses a lot of expensive hardware like mainframes for old legacy systems where we come together as organisations and buy the service from companies like IBM (or similar, typically there are 3-5 companies that take turns winning the 8-12 year contracts) who then operate the stuff inside our country. I’m sure we can do the same with LLMs.
