Why is that an issue? I deploy local LLMs for work and none of the content they use or generate goes outside the encrypted active domain, so no security issues or privacy issues. The question is how contained the LLM is, that’s all.

did you read the parts of the article that describe why the LLM is an issue?

Shouldn’t the headline be about unencrypted text prompts, rather than AI?

Mistral isn’t trained on copy righted data. It’s based off selective databases that were open use. This article in general is full of false information. But I suppose most people only read the headlines.

Unfortunately we’re unable to share details about the training and the datasets (extracted from the open Web) due to the highly competitive nature of the field.

The “open web” is full of copyrighted material.

I’m not familiar with them. What makes them more privacy focused?

It’s encrypted and based out of Germany (so, outside of five eyes). The ui is shit but if you use an app for email it’s great. They also offer anonymous payment methods if you’re into that.

they’re not end-to-end encrypted; their security model involves giving their server both your GPG private key and its passphrase, which makes your inbox and other data trivially able to be subpoenaed by German authorities.

I don’t think this is a replacement for Proton or Tutanota at all.
