You can use it locally. FWIW many tools are SaaS, yet people have no trouble with that.

I said what I said because you care about others.

Good for them.

If you do not want to use SaaS, use a local model.

That's where you find out you need $100k in hardware to do so, and I'm lowballing here. And a person who can put it together, it's not quite a typical ops setup.

More if you want to actually train it.

Of course, it is very expensive and I cannot afford the hardware required for running local models. My hardware is extremely old. :(
