You think scammers in Africa/India are capable of running a local open weight model equivalent to the performance of a cloud frontier model?

By local I presume you mean on a gaming computer. No one can do that.

Yes this is absolutely possible.

    Why would local mean on a gaming computer...? Are you dense? That makes zero sense in any context given the topic. I can't tell if your just being obtuse or a troll with this.

    That is what local generally means in the context of running LLMs why are you so offended? And well if that isn't what it meant and it extends to running old datacenter hardware or a repurposed mining rig, then the answer is yes lol

    And shit why would local even matter? Like be real why would it need to be local?

    They also could have just clarified if they meant it differently. But yea you're a reasonable person worth listening to what you got
