I don't think that really matters in this context. If the local models can do these things already, the fact that frontier models can do even more does not change that fact or eliminate that problem. Add on to that the fact that the local models are improving at a faster rate than the frontier models and they're really going to have a hard time making money renting this technology in the long run. Like with cars: my car has nowhere near the capabilities of the best or most powerful car, but it still does literally everything I could ever want, and I never ever find myself wishing my car could drag more or move faster. That same sort of thing applies to AI capabilities: It makes no functional difference to me that my local model can't, just for example, resequence DNA in real-time, because I have no need for that and never will.
