Are you trying to say that local models are hard to use because... you're having issues handling files properly? I am not sure I get the argument.
I get the rest of the comment: local models require an investment upfront, and it is less convenient. It doesn't say that it is not cheaper, though.
- gpugreg 2mo ago> you're having issues handling files properly? I guess they were using ollama, which does not tell you where it puts the models it downloads.
- accrual 2mo agoFilelight / ncdu are my friends for finding random 30GB directories containing cached models.
- gpugreg 2mo agoPersonally, I prefer QDirStat. I just tried to use FileLight to compare, but the package seems to be broken on Lubuntu.
- jiggawatts 2mo agoYou two have just listed several tools needs to clean up after another tool: not a strong argument for “simpler”.
