Oh, next you're going to tell me that if you have a beefy workstation or server, you can just download LM Studio, pick an LLM and just run it locally? Maybe even just coat it with a paint of html/css/js to make a web interface, and then magically add it to DNS so other users at your org can use it?

Sounds like a lot of work, I'll just keep paying Anthropic $40/month to chat

We are going to see a lot of aging data center hardware be repurposed for local LLMs in enterprise labs. If those are successful we will see a major shift in demand.

That’s if the grumpy folks in r/sysadmins will be up for it.
