Think a large portion of people won’t take “good enough” if better is available for cheaper.
Datacenters simply scale better than homesevers on cost and performance
So only really works for people that value local highly - which isn’t most people.
Why would we assume the remote providers are going to be cheaper? They are burning cash, and Claude is already jacking up prices.
"Local" is the means to an end, not the value prop itself. The value prop is "fast, private, and free", which I think is going to be very compelling.
