I have some amount of hope that local open models with sufficient quantization are the future as hardware becomes more powerful and models become more optimized. I don’t think we will be living in thin client land forever. Human expertise and intelligence will continue to be important and anyone who says otherwise is being disingenuous.

Agreed. I am crossing my fingers that local open models can catch up in the future. Otherwise the big LLM companies will have everyone by the balls.
