The most important part is that it’s a local ~~LLM~~ model running on your machine. The problem with AI is less about LLMs themselves, and more about their control and application by unethical companies and governments in a world driven by profit and power. And it’s none of those things, it’s just some open source code running on your device. So that’s cool and good.

Also the incessant ammounts of power/energy that they consume.

Running an llm llocally takes less power than playing a video game.

They aren't using a LLM, this is a speech to text model like Whisper.
