Can this be made to work offline, without a cloud server? I wouldn't want my words to be passed through an API, but run locally on device. I don't mind buying fast GPUs for this.

When we launch, no, it will be cloud inference, but will be processed with encryption in hardware isolation and only retained and used for anonymized training with your consent. At some point in the future we may make models available for local inference though.

Understood. Cool tech, but I'll pass then and wait for someone to reverse engineer it and release it in a way that I can use.
