Your developers want AI coding agents. Your source code is regulated IP that can't be sent to a third-party AI service, and your compliance team has said so in writing. The usual escape hatch, standing up your own GPU cluster and running the models yourself, means buying scarce hardware, hiring a team to operate it, and still trailing the frontier models by months. So you do nothing, and your teams fall behind the ones that adopted AI a year ago.GitLab Duo Self-Hosted can now use Privatemode AI as its model provider. Privatemode runs state-of-the-art models inside confidential-computing hardware, so prompts, source code, and completions stay encrypted end-to-end, including during inference. You point GitLab Duo's AI Gateway at the Privatemode proxy, and your developers get the same Duo features they'd get from any model, with one difference that matters to a regulated organization: The code never leaves an encrypted boundary, and no third party can read it.The productivity most regulated teams can't touchAI coding assistance has moved well past autocomplete. GitLab Duo Agent Platform runs multi-step work: It reviews merge requests, refactors across files, generates and runs tests, drives agentic flows as CI jobs, and much more. That is a real shift in how teams ship, and it compounds. The teams using it review faster and spend less time on boilerplate.The catch is that every one of those features sends your prompts and your source code to a model provider. For a team working on proprietary code, regulated software, or sensitive IP, that single fact is disqualifying.Why …
