That's the fix. Keep using the powerful models. Strip the sensitive parts before they ever ship. Elephas redacts PII on your Mac before anything reaches a cloud model. Zero data retention, never used for training, no reviewer ever sees it.

Your AI Should Not Expose Your Data

Is ChatGPT Pro worth it in 2026? Only if your workload keeps hitting Plus's ceiling. OpenAI now has four tiers: Go $8, Plus $20, Pro 5x $100, Pro 20x $200 — most people are on the wrong one. 🧵

How to use AI for research without sharing sensitive information: strip identifying details before anything leaves your machine — don't rely on the chat-history toggle alone. 77% of researchers already use AI, most don't realize how much they're exposing. 🧵

Can I use the MacBook Air with AI apps? Yes, for cloud AI like ChatGPT or Claude, on any config. For local AI running on-device, it depends entirely on RAM. 🧵

macOS 27 supported devices: every Apple silicon Mac (M1 or later) can install it. Not every one gets the newest AI features though — those need an M3 or later chip AND 12GB or more of unified memory, both at once. 🧵
