Local AI is the best

Funny image, but also I'd like to add that I love how much freedom and honesty I can finetune the model to. No glazing, no censorship, no data harvesting. I can discuss and analyze personal stuff with ease of mind knowing that it stays in my home. I'm eternally grateful to llama.cpp developers, everyone involved in open-weight models development and everyone else involved in these tools.
