Large Language Models (LLMs) are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to replicate the abilities of a chatbot on a user’s computer without the need for cloud-hosting. The main advantages of using a local LLM include less censorship, better data privacy, and offline usage. With less censorship, users can discuss thought-provoking topics without restrictions. Data privacy is also improved, as all data generated stays on the user’s computer. Finally, local LLMs allow for uninterrupted usage in remote or isolated areas without reliable internet access.
