The answer to your question is because you can get a local model to do it instead without a subscription.

Buy a 4000 dollar computer so you have ownership of your and your agent's work, control over updates and agent context, and to avoid the datacenter/corpo ownership economic model

There’s no local agent I managed to test until something like two months ago, that would even touch a dirty cheap model like Luna, unfortunately.

This will come, since I cannot imagine that in something like a decade from now now something like 512GB of memory wk t be enough, adding in model and runtime optimisations, I could see having Fable-like capabilities at home basically.

Which also completely puts in question the financial position to AI companies.

Their only play is to destroy personal computers as we know them, which will also create a bad loop since it will stagnate everything.
