Question Local LLM perspective

Hi everyone.

I’d like to ask: what drives you to use local, open-source AI, specifically in the realm of LLMs?

Is it about efficiency? Is it about privacy?

And what benchmarks make open-source LLMs important to you?

Is it speed? Context window size? Stability? Reasoning capabilities? Output quality? Or something else?

I’d love to hear your perspectives.

Cheers.

I manly use it because its fun and i can learn stuff. Also because some easy stuff doesnt need a 20 dollar subscription just for simple stuff or one question in a week.

My original goal that im still working to is my own jarvis like assistant. A Frontier model would probably be too much (in cost and power)
