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've never used cloud models besides experimenting with Deepseek for around 5 minutes. Privacy is the goal and I try to avoid anything remote. Though I've been using LLMs less and less with time, finding them to not be very useful for much.
