Why? What is everyone doing with this?

I truly do NOT understand. I currently spend $100 on Claude and $100 on ChatGPT every month, and my productivity for coding and projects is through the roof.

Everything I have tested with local LLMs has been nowhere close to matching the online AI models.

What are you doing privately that is so important that you are willing to put up with slower AI?

Do we think that in the near future we will have some super optimized model that can run efficiently and compete with online models and furture proofing it??

I truly do not understand, and I truly cannot believe I cannot even snag a base M4 Mac Studio with 36GB of memory, which is no way in hell enough to run anything productive with local LLMs.

I don't get it.
