This sort of thing will be interesting to me once it can be done with fully local and open source tech on attainable hardware (and no, a $5,000 MacBook Pro is not attainable). Building a dependence on yet another untrustworthy AI startup that will inevitably enshittify isn’t compelling despite what the tech can do.

We’re getting there with some of the smaller open source models, but we’re not quite there yet. I’m looking forward to where we’ll be in a year!

The nice thing is it doesn't really matter all too much which you use "today", you can take the same inputs to any and the outputs remain complete forever. If the concern is you'll start using these tools, like them, start using them a lot, then are worried suddenly all hosted options to run a query disappear tomorrow (meaning being able to run local is important to you) then Qwen2.5-Coder 32B with a 4 bit quant will run 30+ tokens/second will give you many years of use for <$1k in hardware.

If you want to pay that <$1k up front to just say "it was always just on my machine, nobody elses" then more power to you. Most just prefer this "pay as you go for someone else to have set it up" model. That doesn't imply it's unattainable if you want to run it differently though.
