The future of AI has to be local and self-hosted. Soon enough you’ll have super powerful models that can run on your phone. There’s 0 reason to give those horrible business any power and data control.

Not to mention the one that I run locally on my GPU is trained on ethically-sourced data without breaking any copyright or data licensing laws, and yet it somehow works BETTER at ChatGPT for coding.

I agree with you that it needs to be local and self-hosted… I currently have an incredible AI assistant running locally using Qwen3-Coder-Next. It is fast, smart and very capable. However, I could not have gotten it setup as well as I have without the help of Claude Code… and even now, as great as my local model is, it still isn’t to the point that it can handle modifying its own code as well as Claude. The future is local, but to help us get there a powerful cloud-based AI adds a lot of value.

Thank you for honestly stating that. I am in similar position myself.

How do you like Qwen 3 next? With only 8GB vram I’m limited in what I can self host (maybe the Easter bunny will bring me a Strix lol).

Yeah, some communities on Lemmy don’t like it when you have a nuanced take on something so I’m pleasantly surprised by the upvotes I’ve gotten.

I’m running a Framework Desktop with a Strix Halo and 128GB RAM and up until Qwen3 Next I was having a hard time running a useful local LLM, but this model is very fast, smart and capable. I’m currently building a frontend for it to give it some structure and make it a bit autonomous so it can monitor my systems and network and help keep everything healthy. I’ve also integrated it into my Home Assistant and it does great there as well.
