I think the author is using local-first as in “your files stay local, and the framework is compatible with on-prem infra”. Aside from not storing your docs and data with a cloud service though, it’s very usable with cloud inference providers, so I can see your point.
Maybe the author should have specified that capability, even though it seems redundant, since local-first implies local capability but also cloud compatibility, or it would be local or local-only.
