I'm looking to permanently quit ChatGPT/Claude because I'm sick of them not delivering the product they claim to offer, silently swapping to lower quality models, gaslighting their users, and all their other shenanigans. My key requirements are: Reputable host, with user-friendly data retention policies I use my LLM to do about everything and constantly give it access to privileged info, including leaking api keys, details about my research, the works. I've decided it's not really feasible to keep from leaking this info so trusting the provider is critical for me. I don't want to send my data to China and preferably I sent to a more established company that has reputation and legal accountability to the US Government. 2. Consistent Quality: Provider will never silently quantize Its important that the model feels the same to me every time I use it. It's super stressful to trust an AI to work on a task only to find it's suddenly extremely dumb and incapable of basic tasks, possibly destroying my work, as Astra did last week after a sudden bout of nerfing. In short, I am willing to take an intelligence cut and even possibly pay more for consistent results that don't compromise me later to hacks/exploitation.
