It’s self hosted tho?? I don’t get it. Isn’t remote-togglable stuff way more dangerous, like I don’t know, the Star Link?

Because idk, you need a good model and you dont have capex to buy a shitload of gpus

But yeah, ppl probably run small local models and they hate that too i can imagine. They want all the traffic to go to openai
