i don't use local models, i just use the APIs of cloud providers (eg fireworks, together, friendli, novita, even cerebras or groq).

you can get subscriptions to use the APIs, from synthetic, or ollama, fireworks.

Whats the big difference then? You can get a lot of tokens for 20$ and not everything is a state secret i'm doing.

But if i would use some API stuff, probably openrouter, isn't that easer to switch around and also have zero konwledge savety?

i think that privacy is good for wellbeing. it may be this is a dying point of view.

		It is for sure but running your own email is so time intense that i gave that up 10 years ago. i then decided to trust one company with most stuff. Also as I said, I would use something different for my personal stuff. But i'm waiting for the right hardware etc.
