Private AI vs cloud AI: what belongs where?

Aeon helps leaders decide which AI workflows belong in cloud frontier APIs, private AI on owned hardware, or a governed hybrid architecture.

Questions this page answers

Should every AI workload be private?
No. Aeon helps decide which workflows should stay on owned infrastructure, which can use cloud frontier models, and what controls govern the split.
When does private AI matter most?
Private AI matters when sensitive context, client data, privileged internal know-how, workflow traces, continuity, or data moat protection are central to the business case.

Use cloud for low-sensitivity context

Frontier APIs can be useful for generic reasoning, summarization, and non-sensitive work where convenience and model quality matter.

Use private AI when context is the asset

Client files, internal know-how, workflow traces, privileged analysis, regulated data, and durable operating playbooks need a deliberate control decision.

Use hybrid when quality and control both matter

Most organizations need both private and cloud AI, with controls that govern which data and workflows can egress.
