That's not really true though, providers are deprecating models and I have at least 10 emails to prove it.

- alightsoul 3mo agoNothing stops you from downloading the model and hosting it on a cloud virtual machine
- TurdF3rguson 3mo agoCommon sense does, but other than that I suppose you're right.
- trollbridge 3mo agoA provider deprecating a model doesn't mean the .gguf file disappears from my computer.
- AgentMasterRace 3mo agohell yeha bro, I still rock qwen 0.1
- kzrdude 3mo agoWhen the weights are publically available (and open to use), then there's a free market for hosting that model at least. That's not independence for me, but it's lack of vendor lock-in. For some of the open models, there's a list of 20-30 providers of the same model on openrouter for example, as an example of the supply.
