| Privacy | Prompts and outputs are processed by the selected model API provider. | The model runs on a rented machine you configure; provider infrastructure still handles the workload. |
| Availability | The hosted agent can stay available while the provider APIs remain reachable. | Availability follows the rented GPU and any interruptibility or capacity limits. |
| Setup | You maintain the agent host; the model provider maintains inference. | You maintain the model server, storage, and GPU runtime. |
