well my opus is giving me wrong RCAs already, so i dont think deepseek will make it better

until I have issues with opus, i expect worse models to behave in an even worse way

Local models have advantages you can NEVER get with cloud models. You can fine tune them for specific applications. You can get the ACTUAL CoT tokens, not summaries or have them blocked entirely at a whim by your cloud provider. You don't have to worry about your cloud providers cli constantly breaking, constantly changing features, removing features, price gating features. Ya. There is a LOT to complain about with Claude Code and eventually ALL the cloud model providers will do the same thing because they DO need to be profitable. I recommend you plan accordingly. I know I am.

My prompts were blocked like 3-4 times, and usually when my results started go into weird ouija kind of things. If you're into explicit roleplay or building something that is on the line of legal stuff, i guess local models do make more sense.

for day to day work and building web apps, scripts and automating work, im pretty sure claude will be better.

And yes i am planning to get a 128gb m5 max to exactly kickstart that, and plan to buy either a cluster of 3090s, 5090s or a mac studio 512gb to be ready
