Frequently asked questions
GPT-4 is better than open source, right?
That was true in 2023-2024. Since Llama 3.1 405B, Qwen2.5 72B and Mistral Large 2, the gap has narrowed on public benchmarks. For 95% of enterprise use cases (document analysis, content generation, classification, RAG), open-source models on secuAI deliver equivalent quality, with the major advantage of full sovereignty.
Are my prompts used to train models?
Never by default on secuAI. Your prompts and completions stay strictly private and are not used to train models. You can optionally contribute to a private fine-tune for your org (your data only). OpenAI publicly declares some API data is used by default unless opted out — a real corporate confidentiality risk.
Can we migrate an existing OpenAI integration?
Yes, secuAI exposes an OpenAI-compatible API: swap the base URL and key, and your code runs. Most SDKs (Python, Node.js, LangChain, LlamaIndex) are supported.
Which models are available on secuAI?
Qwen2.5 (32B, 72B), Llama 3.1 (70B), Mistral (Large, Codestral, NeMo), embedding models (BGE, E5) and security-specialized models. List updated monthly.
