Models and Your Data

The model you chat with reads your project's data to answer you: your questions, and the statements, transactions and documents it looks up.

On your computer

OrbySystems Small, Medium and Large, and OrbySystems Embedding, run on your own computer. Their inference stays local. Online tools and reporting have separate controls, described below. While you use one, the sidebar's AI Model card says "On this computer".

Somewhere else

If you choose a model that runs somewhere else in Settings → Models (a cloud model, or one on another machine), it receives every message you send and what it reads to answer. Choose one only if you trust where it runs. The AI Model card then names the model in amber, and its dialog shows how much of each chat and project has been sent to it.

What else can reach the network

Tools such as web search and the browser, and scripts the model writes, are covered by the sidebar's Network card. See Private data.
