One thing I really dislike about hosted models is how opaque that behavior is. As a user I should never be guessing if they've reduced a model's capabilities to save on compute for example. This is why I'm excited for the growth of local model capabilities. I can much more reasonably expect that the model has not degraded and that it is using the full hardware capabilities it has been granted.
