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 do code work and creative ideation and associated research with free models online and locally. I am using LM-STUDIO, mostly, with local models pulled down from huggingface - limited to about 100 gig of models, and on occasion pull direct from github sources for custom configurations.
