Right now, you can't pay a lot and get a local LLM with similar performance to GPT-4.

Anything you can run on-site isn't really even close in terms of performance.

The ability to finetune to your workplaces terminology and document set is certainly a benefit, but for many usecases that doesn't outweigh the performance difference.
