Is there any actual usecases to run this stuff on a local computer? Or are most of these models actually suited to run on remote clusters?

Absolutely! Local experimentation. I built a transcription and summarization pipeline for $0. If I want it to be faster, I can move it to beefier hardware. If I fail 1000s of times it still costs me nothing.

Privacy is the second case, I don't want to leak all my great ideas or data to openai or anyone else.
