They'll wait until on-prem LLM's can be done relatively cheaply/easily. The potential ramifications of a data breach would be staggering for a consulting firm.

Although it would be interesting to see what would happen if every client sued the firm at once.

I doubt they will have the competency to do on-prem competitive LLM anytime soon. They can use the Azure OpenAI service which I think offers better enterprise peace of mind.

They'll have the competency to try. Unless their tech org has changed a lot, in fact, I can just about guarantee they'll burn a lot of money trying (and failing, by having approached the whole thing all wrong from the outset).
