But what is it doing for you that you couldn’t do yourself at that speed? I‘m really curious and on the fence of partly going local.

Run one task, while you do another? Or while you sleep / eat / rave?

Is think you would use it more like email and less like text messages, so the domain of communication shifts drastically. The other part is, you don't have to run just that model, you can offload a lot of chores to smaller models.
