If you are a company and you want the advantages of a maintained local-like LLM, if your data already lives in AWS, you'll naturally use Bedrock for cost savings. Given most companies are on cloud, it makes sense they won't do a local setup just for the data to just go back on AWS.

For consumers, it actually requires quite powerful systems, and you won't get the same tokens per minute nor the same precision of an online LLM. And online LLMs already have infrastructure in search engine communication and agent-like behavior that simply makes them better for a wider range of tasks.

This covers most people and companies. So it's either local experience is way worse than online (for most practitioners) or that you already have a local-like LLM in the cloud, where everything else of yours already lives. Not much space left for local on my own server/machine.

Wouldn't it be cool to have a local AI agent? It could access search engines and browse any website through a headless browser.
