    No local models will be as good as those offered by big corporations, ever. It’s just not physically possible. Even worse, you don’t seem to understand that running a model is not the issue, training it is.

    Regardless, even if any of this wasn’t true, running LLMs on prem is something that’s only achievable by very few people worldwide. It would take generations for poorer countries to catch up, once again, so this AI race is effectively another attempt at exacerbating inequality, and frankly, it’s giving some strong “war for oil” vibes, people in richer countries happily ignoring what’s going on elsewhere because they are getting nicer things.
