@thejacenallen@mastodon.social Yep. Pretty much a non starter if that’s a blocker for you. The local models like Qwen and Gemma are actually very usable now though! I’ve gotten a ton more value out of those recently. Frontier for deep thinking and planning and then local for execution (has to run way longer to produce equivalent results though). I test every local for that reason. I have a Mac Studio and my house has been net positive power generation for over 10 years now (even charging two cars!). So local models are totally free (ignoring training of course but I’m a glass half full kind of guy, progress is progress!)
