Data paths
Local AI can avoid external model calls when models and working data are processed locally. The actual architecture remains decisive.
Operating responsibility
With local infrastructure, updates, capacity and safeguards are more strongly owned by internal or contracted operations.
Scalability
Cloud services can be flexible for highly variable load. Local infrastructure may suit predictable core workloads.
Decision
Assess the concrete use case rather than technology alone. A hybrid pattern can also be suitable.
| Local AI | more control over infrastructure and data paths, own operations required |
|---|---|
| Cloud AI | fast access and elastic capacity, review external service and data paths |
| Hybrid | purposeful combination based on protection needs and workload |
