Your machine, your data, your keys
Own the stack, and rent only the brain a task needs. Say which part is rented.
The stack I run should belong to me as far as possible: the files, the notes, the data and the keys. Where a task needs a large hosted model, I rent one and say so. Routine work that does not need the biggest model runs on hardware I control.
This tenet does not claim that everything runs locally, because that is not true. It says the decision is mine, and that the pages here state which part runs where. Keys says it has no account and no telemetry. OpenEdu runs on local Ollama models, with hosted models as an option.
