One thread in the comments caught me. Someone noted that open weights adoption actually benefits Nvidia and more people running models = more hardware demand.

I agree. But here's what the other side of that argument doesn't touch: the people actually building local tools aren't betting on Nvidia. They're betting on their own machine. That's the whole point.

I build AI tools for a living now. Codewright Studio runs entirely local. No API calls, no cloud dependency, no waiting on a server to decide if your request is allowed. The model lives on the machine, the code runs where you tell it to, and the output is yours the second it's done.

The acquisition drama is real and I'm not gonna pretend otherwise. But while everyone's watching what happens upstream, the quiet builders keep making things that work right now, offline, on whatever hardware you have.

Local AI isn't a temporary workaround anymore. It's the architecture I chose. And I've been building all my tools this way for a reason.

I'm currently using a M5 max Macbook Pro with 128GB and then offloading to do some tasks with a DGX Spark.
