NVIDIA drivers send detailed telemetry.

Windows and macOS send detailed telemetry.

You have to install the pip packages and the models, which all come from websites, which collect detailed telemetry.

You don’t think Microsoft gathers detailed telemetry on all your interactions with GitHub?

The local setup doesn’t really help with that.

We might be talking about two different things. Yes, under normal circumstances the setup steps involve software that defaults to using telemetry -- though I'd be surprised if it's not possible anymore to achieve those in an air-gapped env using e.g. offline installers, zipped repos and wheel files, etc.

My comment was referring to runtime workloads having no telemetry (because I unplugged the internet)
