Prediction text
The hybrid approach (local models + cloud check-ins) will be where most people move toward before going fully local. | I found a kind of hybrid approach that's worked really well and I think this is where people are going to move towards before it's fully local which is I have an open claw on my Mac studio that's powered by Chad GBT and I have another one that's powered by Quen local.
