Idk about everyone else, but I don’t want to rent tokens forever. I want a self hosted model that is completely private and can’t be monitored or adulterated without me knowing. I use both currently, but I am excited at the prospect of maybe not having to in the near to mid future.
I’ve increasingly started self hosting everything in my home lately because I got tired of SAAS rug pulls and I don’t see why LLM’s should eventually be any different.
Exactly. Relying on external compute for professional work is a non-starter IMO.
