Local models keep processing on the device but need suitable hardware.
GUIDE
OpenAI API or local models?
Compare processing location, setup, model capability, cost, and data handling before selecting a route.
IN PRACTICE
What matters.
External APIs can provide different capabilities but send submitted content to a provider.
Priviot does not switch between the routes automatically.
CURRENT PRODUCT STATUS
Priviot AI
Priviot AI 1.0.0 is available for macOS on Apple silicon and Windows 10/11. Priviot model packages run locally without an automatic cloud fallback. Standard and Pro are preview packages for both platforms. Optional external APIs are a separate, deliberately selected processing route.
