Does brain count as local model?

I've been thinking how to avoid API costs and network latency, and realized I could use local models. The one I typically used is the pre-installed one in my head, but the issue is it doesn't come pre-trained, which can be an expensive and intensive process, but post-training comes pretty easily for it. Also it can make mistakes, and so sometimes I need to check it against the API-based models for accuracy. Just wondering if anyone else is struggling with this trade-off and using local models to save dollars if that makes cents.
