You can still run your local cloud and AI providers will be heavily consolidated to a few.
While for programming task I do use Claude currently, local models can be tuned to serve 80% of the time reduction you win by using AI. Depends a bit on the work you do. This will improve probably, while frontier models seem to hit hard ceilings.
Where I would disagree is that joining concepts or knowledge works at all with current AI. It works decently bad in my opinion. Even the logical and mathematical improvements of the latest Gemini model don't impress too much yet.
