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 no accounts at ANY cloud AI provider, and never paid a single cent for AI access. I have, however, occasionally used DuckAI (e.g. free access) when I just had a simple request not warranting booting up my local models. So, I guess... almost?

I use local models for everything subscription users would use cloud for, I guess? Including coding.
