Im not sure they have to compete. If they * Show local performance * Provide a way for other LLM providers to receive compensation for providing local models Then there are alot of use cases that get better with a local LLM instead of a remote LLM: * Offline search * Faster Text suggestion and transformation * Client side AI assist for video games (This is better from a cost perspective for the game dev) * Pushing the LLM runtime cost to the user
