I am pretty negative on AI but there is a point there. I tried the open weight local model Gemma 4 31B and while it likely cannot compete with the best Claude has to offer today, it might be on par with Claude from a year ago, at least for certain applications. With a local model the data stays on your system and you are in control of the costs (no sudden price hikes). But local models aren't for free either they still guzzle compute, merely on your own hardware (or rented hardware)
At least there they have hard numbers, without a CEO dreaming about future possibilities and whatnot.
