AI Sovereignty - Control Your Entire AI architecture (ft Max McCrea)

Join the Tool Use Discord: https://discord.gg/PnEGyXpjaXAre you putting your business at risk by relying on big AI companies? In this episode of the Tool Use podcast, we dive deep into Sovereign AI with Max McCrea, founder of Greyhaven. We explore how businesses can maintain control of their private data while still benefiting from AI. Max breaks down the importance of self-hosting and building architectures that abstract away the model provider so you can easily swap them out. We also discuss practical AI architecture decisions, the dangers of un-sandboxed AI agents, and how to set up software-defined sandbox environments to reduce the attack surface. Whether you are curious about running open source models or replacing proprietary tools, this episode provides a guide to taking back control of your systems.Guest Links:https://greyhaven.cohttps://maxmccrea.comhttps://github.com/GreyhavenHQConnect with ushttps://x.com/ToolUsePodcasthttps://x.com/MikeBirdTech00:00:00 - Intro00:12:17 - AI Context Management & Personal Data Indexing00:20:40 - Open Source Replacements vs Proprietary SaaS Tools00:29:14 - Corporate AI Data Harvesting & Vendor Lock-in00:49:18 - LLM Orchestration & AI System Architecture00:53:24 - Best Open Source AI Models for Self-HostingSubscribe for more insights on AI tools, productivity, and data sovereignty.Tool Use is a weekly conversation with the top AI experts.
