0:01 Well, I don't quite know what you're 0:03 asking here. Um, 0:06 there's two different there's there's 0:08 two different parts of the conversation 0:09 here. 0:12 If you're running a local large language 0:15 model and you're running one of these 0:17 agentic systems to to write you an 0:20 application for example or I don't know 0:23 write you a screenplay doesn't matter 0:24 whatever it's going to write and you're 0:26 you're los using the local model 0:29 everything there is happening locally 0:32 now you can add tools that access the 0:35 internet but it still processes it 0:37 locally right so that's that's a layer 0:39 of risk But but you can just run a local 0:42 large language model 0:44 completely on its own. If you have to 0:47 send things out to one of the big 0:50 models, right? Like if you're doing 0:51 medical stuff and you want it to be 0:53 really good answers, you don't want to 0:54 run that locally. You want one of the 0:56 big ones. Then then I would put a thing 0:59 in the middle of it, a deidentification 1:01 system that retains the anonymity but 1:03 sends the basic data off to the to the 1:06 big the big guys. And then when the when 1:09 your answers come back, you reconnect it 1:11 with the personal data. 1:13 >> We This is actually I'm hopping up 1:16 because this is in my lane. We learned 1:17 about this last week at the Zenus 1:18 conference. Uh 1:19 >> nice where 1:21 >> anything that you're sending, you don't 1:22 want to send it via email. You don't 1:24 want to send it to an unpaid LLM. But if 1:27 you're uploading something to say Zenesk 1:30 and Zenesk is using OpenAI on the back 1:33 end to power their agentic framework, 1:37 they're under a an agreement with OpenAI 1:40 at the enterprise level that says OpenAI 1:42 is not going to snoop and train on their 1:44 data. And they're under a BAA or an 1:48 agreement with the client that is using 1:50 the tools that says we're not going to 1:53 use your data outside of your use case. 1:56 So, we've got silos, built-in silos, 1:58 built-in silos. And so, you know, it it 2:00 operates on the same framework of 2:02 communicating with your doctor through 2:04 My Chart. You know, you don't want to 2:05 just send them an email, but if you're 2:07 logging in and authenticating and using 2:09 your thumbrint and password, then you're 2:11 doing it in a secure environment. And 2:14 any local LLM that's working within that 2:17 framework is either airgapped that's not 2:21 connected to something on the outside. 2:23 And if it is connected to something on 2:25 the outside, they have a legal agreement 2:26 in place that says it's not going to 2:29 leave your grain silo. 2:31 >> Yeah. Yeah. That's it. Basically, your 2:34 job if you want to professionalize your 2:37 practice, it's one of the things we talk 2:38 about in the in the mastermind practice 2:40 lab. If you want to professionalize your 2:42 practice, 2:44 it is on you to understand all of your 2:48 handoffs and all of the components in 2:50 the chain of, 2:52 you know, when a client logs into my app 2:54 and they do something and it magically 2:56 goes off into LLM land and and does cool 3:00 AI and brings back an answer, it's 3:02 on me 3:04 to understand what are all those 3:06 components and what are all those data 3:08 agreements and privacy agreements with 3:10 every one of those components. And so, 3:12 as Brandon said, if if Zenesk has an 3:16 agreement with um with OpenAI that that 3:20 this particular chain is HIPPA 3:22 compliant, then I can send personally 3:25 identifiable information there because 3:27 I've got legal um cover for that chunk 3:33 of the chain. But then if I take that, 3:36 you know, same thing and the next thing 3:38 I send it to to Claude to their 20 buck 3:41 a month subscription and I don't have 3:44 that agreement in place. Well, now I' 3:46 I've just sent, you know, HIPPA 3:48 information, you know, out of something 3:51 that was secure and compliant into 3:53 something that wasn't. That that's on me 3:55 as a developer, right, to understand all 3:58 of those. 3:59 We have images to look at. Okay, great. 4:01 So, wait, I wanted to see this one from 4:03 Kelly. I understand the concepts, but my 4:04 English major brain does not compute how 4:07 to get a local large language model. Am 4:09 I missing something basic? We've got a 4:11 few minutes. Let me show you. 4:13 >> Watch the full replay at 4:14 community.thesalon.ai.
