Open-source LLM for enterprise — own the weights, keep the data
Engineers search this when they are done renting GPT. The security question is who holds the weights after fine-tune.
Direct answer
Keep the dataset inside an EU operator you can contract under GDPR Article 28. Fine-tune on reserved or on-prem accelerators. Do not paste the corpus into a consumer chatbot. Copperway can mask PII if you must call a frontier teacher.
Self-hosted AI models and weights ownership
Open-source LLM for enterprise means you can export the artifact. Closed APIs can change terms, raise prices, or train on your prompts. Open-source vs closed-source AI security is that fork.
How to train a model on proprietary data: keep the corpus in-region, fine-tune on hardware you control, and do not send raw PII to a US log. Copperway's PII vault is the overflow path when you still need a frontier teacher model.
Local LLM fine-tuning and offline generative AI
A custom LLM for internal company use is a fine-tune plus RAG on an on-prem vector store — not a ChatGPT workspace with a retention toggle. Offline generative AI tools matter for air-gapped plants and classified networks.
AGICY's playground lets you try models now. Campus fine-tunes are planned offtake, not a live training SLA.

FAQ
- How do I train a model on proprietary data in the EU?
Keep the dataset inside an EU operator you can contract under GDPR Article 28. Fine-tune on reserved or on-prem accelerators. Do not paste the corpus into a consumer chatbot. Copperway can mask PII if you must call a frontier teacher.
- Do I own AI model weights after a fine-tune?
Only if the contract and the stack say so. Open-weight bases plus your data on hardware you control is the ownership path. Cyprus IP Box is a tax overlay for qualifying IP — not a substitute for the contract.
