Company email automation kept off the cloud for legal reasons

This company believes uploading user data to a cloud model would be illegal for their use case, so email and user-text automation runs on a Gemma 4 build on a single Radeon Pro AI R9700.

For company automation — handling emails and user texts — this person runs Gemma 4 on a Radeon Pro AI R9700 with 32GB of VRAM, driven partly by a belief that uploading user data to a cloud model would actually be illegal for what they are doing, and partly for operational independence: nobody outside the company can silently change the model's behavior or take the service down.
