I think what matters more here is "All hardware is located outside of China". Located in the US means little because that's not good enough for many regulated industries even within the US.

All things considered though, Europe is getting confusing. They have GDPR but now pushing to backdoor encryption within the EU? [1]

At least there isn't a strong movement in the US trying to outlaw E2E encryption.

Which brings up the point are truly private LLMs possible? Where the input I provide is only meaningful to me, but the LLM can still transform it without gaining any contextual value out of it? Without sharing a key? If this can be done, can it be done performantly?

I would feel safer if the hardware was located in China than in the US.

Maybe I hit a nerve with the EU part? I thought it was a fair observation, but I'm open to being corrected if there's more nuance I missed.
