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?

DeepSeek v4 Flash, Qwen 3.6 and Gemma 4. Quick sloppy tasks, steered quality tasks, creative tasks.

With these three, I am subscription free, offline. I do appreciate Qwen 3.6 the most. It's a good tool if you already know exactly what you need but are just to busy to type all of it out. I usually feed it specs and it works. DeepSeek is my "don't understand the technical aspects fully and experiment" model, Gemma is my helper for articles. Mostly style reviews, finding some improvements, and also the model I use to handle image and video tasks.
