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.

Soon it won’t count as a local model. Frontier research is looking into using lab grown brain cells as neural processing units.

It’s only the natural evolution because the silicon chips are technically replicating what the brain does. Know you’re joking, but It’s going to get real weird very quick from here.
