Well, I'm still glad offline LLM's exist. The models we download and store are way less popular then the mainstream, perpetually online ones.
Once I beef up my hardware (which will take a while seeing how crazy RAM prices are), I will basically forgo the need to ever use an online LLM ever again, because even now on my old hardware, I can handle 7 to 16B parameter models (quantized, of course).
