> Stop trying to run them locally, folks.

"Locally" is a relative qualifier if one defines locality as not being reliant on a SaaS vendor. IOW, locality does not necessarily imply execution on machines specifically owned/operated by an organization.

> Rent cloud GPUs!

This would qualify as "locally" in the above definition. There is also a case to be made that h/w ownership (GPUs included) and operation can result in a net cost reduction for some use-cases.

However, where exposing intellectual property results in regulatory violations and/or undue legal exposure, running models "locally" is not only a good option, it is the only option.
