>you don't want a company to have your private messages

But that's not what he says.

>I don’t want to use any third-party fine-tuning services

He might be okay with a third-party storing his messages but not using them in their models etc.

This may sound stupid, but from my perspective renting random VMs on vast.ai is safe in general and might be safer than using traditional cloud providers in particular. Consider this: on your VM a new image starts several times a day, each time with a new volume. It downloads tens of GBs of data and weights for training. Once training is done, everything gets cleaned up and the process starts again for a new tenant. This constant cycle makes it kind of difficult to track and extract any meaningful data from it.

vast didn’t work for me despite installing their certificate on macOS.
