Download models you can find now and forever. The guardrails will only get worse, or models banned entirely. Whether it's because of "hurts people's health" or some other moral panic, it will kill this tech off.

gpt-oss isn't bad, but even models you cannot run are worth getting since you may be able to run them in the future.

I'm hedging against models being so nerfed they are useless. (This is unlikely, but drives are cheap and data is expensive.)
