Has this ever happened to you? You're about to use ChatGPT, and then the "bad gateway" appears—it's not reachable!

Online chatbots like ChatGPT are very useful . But our example shows how important it is to go beyond relying on them .

The solution for insecure cloud AI? Local AI solutions

If your company values ​​working securely and in compliance with data protection regulations, then AI solutions from Big Tech cloud providers outside the EU are not a solution.

The sustainable, clean alternative to large online AI services such as ChatGPT is offered by individual local applications with artificial intelligence on an open source basis .

For both the AI ​​models and the chat interface, there are powerful alternatives to OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, and Anthropic's Claude.

Option 1: 100% Local

• The local AI solution runs on a company-owned computer on-premise and is always available, even if the internet goes haywire.
• Requirements: suitable infrastructure, a powerful computer and sufficient IT knowledge for operation.

Option 2: Internal server

• The AI ​​solution runs on a server in the company or in the private cloud and can be used by employees just as easily, but in compliance with data protection regulations , independently of ChatGPT .
• Requirements: suitable infrastructure, a powerful computer and sufficient IT knowledge for operation internally or in the data center.

Option 3: AI Service Partner

• The AI ​​solution runs entirely in a partner's data center and is easily consumed as Software as a Service (SaaS) .
• Requirements: In this variant, you use the AI ​​solution like a private ChatGPT service and, if necessary, use integration via interfaces for your company.
