With how good local models are getting this might not even be necessary. Code Llama derivatives aren't quite there yet for me but if the $20/month meant much to me they would be.

I'm not so sure using local models is a cheaper alternative. Computation/electricity is not free and OpenAI is heavily subsidised. It feels like people think local models are free just because they don't need to pay a third party directly.

I think the real benefit of local models lies elsewhere.
