Local ai can be about as capable as anything you get a subscription for. The benefit to local beyond a lot of other things is, no model degradation, and stationary costs. Actually, you get effectively free model upgrades.

For 2-4k you can have opus 4.8 at home running faster than anthropic. In 8-20 months you have broke more than even.

I think for almost anyone it's worth trying. Especially if you already have hardware.
