Maybe you are using a local model to go after some Millennium Prize problem and you don't want OpenAI to take your work and use it to win the prize for themselves? $15k might be a bargain.
And, yes, I know a current local model wasn't going to solve the Navier-Stokes problem, but I'm just using it as an example where privacy might be valuable.
I'll try that argument with my wife next time I want to buy a $15k mac.
It's a bold strategy cotton, lets see if it pays off for em.
It will also reduce your heating bill.
Agreed, plenty of other reasons to get excited about local AI.
