Network infrastructure for user-specific generative intelligence. Providing user-specific context to a generically trained LLM introduces a variety of complications (privacy, resource utilization, training costs, etc.). Various aspects of the present disclosure provide novel user-specific data structures, privacy and access control, layers of data, and session management, within a network infrastructure for generative intelligence. For example, user-specific embedding vectors may be used to provide user context to a generically trained foundation model. In some variants, edge devices capture multiple modalities of user context (images, audio; not just text). Privacy and access control mechanisms also allow a user to control information that is captured and sent to the foundation model. Session management further decouples a user's conversational state from the foundation model's session state. These concepts and others may be used to emulate e.g., a chatbot based virtual assistant that responds based on user context.
