When to choose Clawd.au
Clawd.au's core proposition is genuine full data sovereignty — they run gpt-oss-120b locally on Sydney GPU capacity. Your prompts never leave their infrastructure. If your use case requires this level of guarantee — because of regulatory requirements, client contractual obligations, or handling classified or sensitive personal data — Clawd.au is the right choice and we'll say so plainly.
NemoClam's no-prompt-logging policy covers the vast majority of privacy requirements at a lower price. But it is not the same as local GPU inference.
