Non-profit organisations are faced with the question: which language model (LLM) is suitable for which task – and how can we avoid dependency? GPT‑4 excels in dialogue, DeepSeek in text analysis, and Gemma 3 in efficiency. The choice depends on criteria such as accuracy, data protection, language skills, energy consumption, speed or cost.
What do we really need – and when?
Where resources are limited, it pays to be mindful: which task really requires a premium model? When is a simpler model sufficient? And which data are allowed to be channelled where?
AI models are energy-intensive. PeakPrivacy therefore relies on efficient open-source models such as Mistral or Llama Swiss, which require significantly less computing power compared to others and are operated on Swiss servers. Data protection is a central concern in philanthropy as well. PeakPrivacy allows you to select models according to security levels. Personal data and sensitive project information, for example, remain on Swiss servers in accordance with the GDPR and DSG.
PeakPrivacy offers a model-independent solution for this: depending on the application, the appropriate model can be selected and the prompt can be placed in a targeted manner. For foundations and NPOs, this means: more efficiency, more control – and AI that adapts to the need, not the other way around.
