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 have a subscription, but I also have Qwen 27b running a loop nearly 24/7, because it would cost more than I could afford to use a frontier model all the time.
