But I run LM studio and comfy ui on my on hardware just to tinker. These generative models are fascinating, but sycophantic and inaccurate.
To be fair, models you can run on your local hardware are severely limited in comparison to what big models like deepseek 4.1, glm 5.3, gpt sol, Claude opus etc can accomplish.
It’s true those models can do more, but they are still sycophantic hallucinating machines. Whose outputs need to still be rigorously checked. So much so that between the cost they charge you to run them and the time you spend. You don’t really save anything over just learning and doing it yourself generally.
I watched a Youtube video the other day of a guy using these frontier models to generate code and assets. He wanted to make his own Mario 64 like. All said and done by the end of the project that he’d done for the video. He’d spent nearly three thousand dollars for low quality assets and real jank.
