Technically, you can also put diesel in a regular gas car. Is that a good idea? Nope.

Don’t try to move the goalposts here.

If those local models with 4b params could do anything useful in the broader range of having a "personal ai assistant" (your words) then why use the 20$ Claude pro subscription and not the local models?

We both know the answer.

You wanted to provide a Tutorial for a 0$ instance "working ai assistant", that could actually do things like "check email, manage files, run scripts". According to your own words.

Now please prove it that you can run a useful ai assistant at 0$ with those local models.
