← Back to context Comment by catlifeonmars 10 hours ago What’s the fundamental difference between a frontier model and a local model anyway? 3 comments catlifeonmars Reply cromka 10 hours ago Privacy! catlifeonmars 9 hours ago Yes, exactly my point! “Frontier” vs “local” isn’t a useful distinction . “proprietary vs open” is a much more useful distinction. Although I suspect people use “frontier” as shorthand for “way too large to run at home practically”. zarzavat 7 hours ago That's effectively what it means. You can run frontier models at home e.g. Kimi K3, but you'd need a large amount of money.
