I do think Devs are one of the genuine users of local into the future. No price hikes or random caps dropped in the middle of the night and in many instances I think local agentic coding is going to be faster than the cloud. It’s a great use case

I am extremely cynical about this entire development, but even I think that I will eventually have to run stuff locally; I've done some of the reading already (and I am quite interested in the text to speech models).

(Worth noting that "run it locally" is already Canva/Affinity's approach for Affinity Photo. Instead of a cloud-based model like Photoshop, their optional AI tools run using a local model you can download. Which I feel is the only responsible solution.)
