Private AI

Ask over confidential data β€” with the model your security team will approve.

Public chatbots send prompts to someone else’s cloud. Private AI on Diode is the opposite: you plug self-hosted or partner-hosted models into Diode Nexus (product brand: Protected AI), then wrap them in an organizationally aware package β€” tools, channels, ranking, and Diode’s end-to-end encrypted path.

The pitch is not β€œpick another SaaS LLM.” It is: bring the inference your policy allows, then ground it in your systems.

What this means

  • Your models first β€” Ollama, vLLM, private GPU stacks, or a partner-hosted OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Rank them above public providers; keep cloud LLMs as optional fallbacks.
  • Organization-aware tooling β€” MCP and tools so answers come from your registries, APIs, and files β€” not training cut-off alone.
  • Protected agentic chat β€” Natural-language conversations with pipeline visibility while tools run.
  • Traffic on Diode β€” Prefer Perimeter Discover or Diode binds so model and tool hops stay on your ZTNA / private path β€” not a naked public API call.
  • Meet people where they work β€” Same package answers Diode Collab channels, web embeds, ACP for apps (including Vibe), and an OpenAI-compatible API (alpha).

Advantages

  • No requirement to put confidential prompts on a multi-tenant public chatbot
  • Security and compliance choose the model; operators still get a real chat + tool product
  • One Nexus tenant serves Collab, Vibe coding, and custom apps β€” instead of every team wiring its own LLM
  • Pipeline and tool activity is visible to operators, not a black box
  • Works with existing Diode identities, zones, and perimeters

Applications

  • Internal Q&A over policies, procedures, and operational data
  • Supplier and extended-team questions answered inside a Collab zone
  • Organization-aware coding and generation from Diode Vibe
  • Plant / region inference that must stay on approved GPU or partner-hosted Private AI
  • Embeddable help on private or protected Diode sites
  • Agent APIs (ACP) so other apps call your Protected AI instead of inventing their own
