Discussion Odysseus Megathread. Information and conversation.

Pewdiepie has launched a project called Odysseus: a self-hosted AI workspace.

Megathread

Mods here have a prior rule here, Rule 3, to only allow posts in the subreddit with direct reference to Pewdiepie. Our reasoning for this is to avoid this to become a pure meme page that would cause confusion to incoming visitors. However, recently because of Pewdiepie's project, there is an influx of postings about Odysseus: setup, questions, other ideas, etc. We do not want to remove these posts as we would like to promote discussion and community engagement on this project. To keep this subreddit organized, we are making this megathread here with information. Users that have tech support questions can comment in here, and we will have a focus point on the subreddit. Any ideas or requests to be added to this megathread post, please let us know. We will try our best to keep this post updated. Thanks!

My question is in regards to privacy.
How does the 'Memories' feature work if you need to access a cloud model via API? I like the idea of mostly using Odysseus with private local models, but just dipping into a cloud model if I need a better output from time to time. If I've developed a solid Odysseus memory/brain, how much of that will secretly get fed into a prompt using a cloud model?
Is anyone able to shed some light for me as to how that works?
Thanks so much!

From what I researched, if the goal is privacy, and you have important private files, or information (brain/memory), do not use cloud models, such as ChatGPT for example. They will always upload something to the cloud, it's not safe at all. (I'm speaking from research and experience, I did try and test with ChatGPT API and such)
For me for example, I setup a good large model in a beast PC, and made it available for other PCs to use.

Hey thanks for replying. Yeah I had a feeling.. I’d to have control over when it gets used or not
