Professionally, my company uses Microsoft 365 so uploading more data to Azure isn’t a concern.

Personally, no I don’t send confidential data that I don’t want to leak online.

Work: Because your company is using Microsoft 365, you can upload customer data to ChatGPT - for example, for revenue reporting. Am I understanding you correctly?

Personal: So, you download and run open-source LLMs on your computer?

We have confidentiality agreements with Microsoft that are worth whatever lawyers think they are worth. Using chatGPT though the company azure accounts is fine, the entreprise Microsoft copilot is fine too, but standard ChatGPT isn’t fine.

Personally no I dont use LLMs for confidential data, the local ones that can run on my personal computers aren’t good enough.

Understood. Makes sense.

Give qwen3:30b and gpt-oss:20b a try. You don't need a fancy GPU, just a modern CPU. Those models are already pretty solid for analyzing your personal data.
