It's also why local models, even if less powerful, are so important. The gap between "state of the art" and "good enough for a lot of workflows" is narrowing fast

Especially with MCP programs that can run in Docker containers.

Yeah I am very excited for local models to get good enough to be properly useful. I’m a bit of an AI skeptic I’ll admit, but I’m much more of a SV venture-backed company skeptic. The idea of being heavily reliant on such a company, plus needing to be online, plus needing to pay money just to get some coding done is pretty unpalatable to me.
