Google announced Gemini can now run air-gapped on a single server. Impressive. Also: you still can't write the governance document.
We built our own sovereign AI deployment. Consumer MacBook Air M4. Open-source inference stack. CONSTRAINTS.md in a GPG-signed Forgejo repo.
No rack. No Google Cloud sales call. Effectively zero incremental cost.
Governance is not a product. It is a practice.

Nice article. Thanks for sharing your experience. @alan@lighthouse.co.im I really like reading real world reports from people using AI independent. Too many success stories leave out which API (or external token) usage was needed to get to the goal. Also many claim that running a solution all your own works because ollama serves the same API. I think there is a lot possible already with even moderate consumer hardware. It requires some engineering effort to tune such systems right. But its worth it.
