I don't get this obsession with smaller models. I've been using Claude and GPT models for years and have had zero issues with them.
I see absolutely no benefit to me as a end user for a local model which is going to take up more of my CPU and memory and slow down my machine. I almost always have Internet and if I don't then not having access to a AI model is the least of my concerns.
