Lumen Trust Notes
GitHub Copilot
Code is processed on GitHub and OpenAI cloud infrastructure; no on-premise or air-gapped option is available for most plans. Purpose is High — Copilot genuinely accelerates developer productivity with verified free access for students and open-source contributors, a clear commitment to access parity. Recommended for most development teams, but review your organisation's code privacy policies before connecting proprietary repositories.
Ollama
Ollama is fully local — models run on your own hardware with zero network egress, providing the highest possible data sovereignty and privacy. Its open-source codebase, free distribution, and support for transparent open-weight models make it a gold standard for all four Sovereignty dimensions. Strongly recommended for any team handling sensitive data, regulated information, or simply wanting full control over their AI infrastructure.
