Aren't LLMs commodity products these days? It's the same thing as running this on a $7 VPS that you don't "own".

I don't think switching to a different provider, or running an open one locally would affect the response quality that much.

The LLM is the key element here, not the 7 dollars VPS... The model itself has cost billions of dollars to train and of the service shuts down or is interrupted for some reason your fancy setup breaks like nothing.
