The banking industry absolutely does care about privacy of their business data btw.
We do use tools like Confluence but they're all hosted in our own data centers.
replyAnd Capital One and Goldman Sachs are both hosted on AWS…
replyThese are all great statistics, but how do you explain ClawdBot explosion. Even in lower income countries like China. So much demand that Apple can’t keep up production of Mac Minis. Why aren’t these folks going towards cloud solutions? Is it cost or is there some consideration for having more control over their data?
replyClawBot doesn't generally run the model locally, it just talks to remote APIs. No different than any other agentic harness. You could run a local model on the same Mac Mini as your agent, but it wouldn't be very smart and many agentic tasks around computer GUI/browser use, etc. would be out of reach.
replyThey are running cloud models in almost all cases. Like saying it isn’t cloud when you use the Facebook app on your phone (it is ON your phone and running there).
replyAnd people using Clawdbot are still not using local inference for the most part…
replyThey aren’t buying high end $2000+ Mac Minis.
> Why aren’t these folks going towards cloud solutions?
replyThey are. The majority aren't doing inference on a Mac Mini, but instead using it as a local host for cloud-based inference. You could have the same general experience on a $200 Chromebook or $300 Windows box.
