Assessment
Local models: lowCloud models: low
Reasoning: The most common way to run open models locally, with an optional cloud tier under transient, no-training terms. Locally nothing leaves the machine; the governance question is what local agents built on it are wired to, not the vendor.
Flags: Local tool and MCP access (device-side governance) · Assessed 2026-09-16. The assessment is Unseen's; the terms above are the vendor's.
