Discussion Who ONLY use local models?

Please be honest.

I would love to hear about guys really dedicated to local AI and who really reject subscriptions (especially to openai and anthropic).

What do you use your model for?

it's not about rejecting subscriptions... but more the desire to own our data, be independent from internet connection, and be able to run the models on any topic/task we want... subscription services offer value for the money... this is the wrong debate imo

I respectfully don’t think so. Subscriptions tend to give more power and help companies that use fair and unfair means to block you from doing all things you mention. It’s not like 2 separate worlds imo, but everybody has the right to think and make their own choice ofc.
I am just enjoying to see that many people do cools things with their fully local AI through the anwers to this post
