Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.

Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.

Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.

I'm kind of new to local AI and wondering what's the move here? Are they trying to pull off a chrome/android situation? Obviously I don't trust any of these gafam giants but I would be really interested in running a local LLM on my M1 max (briefly used deepseek last year). My use case would be mostly chat functions to help with academic and text analysis tasks (don't worry I don't just blindly trust LLMs, I know what I'm doing), so recommendations are welcome.

I agree. I'm thinking they are trying anything hoping it will stick because clearly, they are losing the AI race. So offering models that can run locally was their best bet. And deepseek might have just fuck their shit up a little more with V4.

Personally, I don't think they have any kind of grand plan beyond capturing as much of the market as they can. They'll keep using the strategies that have been effective, but I doubt they can predict what the market will do, or what ground-breaking discoveries are coming.
