Private LLMs, on-device inference, private-wealth AI — names for the enterprise buyer who won't ship data to a public API.
Private AI is a distinct sales motion from foundation-model AI. The buyer is the CISO, the CIO, or the compliance officer, and the product is a model that runs where the data is — behind the firewall, on the device, or in a customer-controlled VPC.
These domains signal privacy-native positioning: on-device inference, private LLMs, sovereign deployment, and the enterprise-AI surface where data residency is a hard requirement. Related: privacy domains, confidential compute, sovereign AI. Every name transfers via Afternic escrow.
