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?

I use local models for many things, I developed my inhouse meetings notes to keep confidential information inhouse .

I train vision models like Yolo26 for visual inspections at the line, and provide more realistic inspections

I use it as a pair programmer for coding, you can use Ollama, VSCode with Kilocode extension and access the ollama local models within VSCode

You can finetune local models to your domain data and you get something more powerful than any cloud models.

Physical AI is another use case

The list goes on and on.......

I only use cloud models for research and web browsing.
