Beware of the author of tweet, who happens to be author of OpenCode - OpenCode will leak all your data to themselves and to shady 3rd parties. Author feigned ignorance and never fixed the issue. OpenCode among other harnesses is the shadiest of all. https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/10416

Anything of substance besides shallow dismissal and (anti)appeal to masses?

The reason to run local models is not for coding mostly it's for learning how to deploy models and tinker with self hosting. It's also for massively crunching data 24/7. Imaging having an agent analyzing constinous log streams etc .. that could be a usescse where even deepseek could add up cost.

Cloud > Local I have a stack of ten or so 3090s sitting in boxes, but it's not worth the hassle to use them. You can easily run models as cheap as water in the cloud. Sitting around 15 minutes for local Minimax is stupid when you're trying to be productive. You can spin up parallel job instances and multitask in the cloud. If you want freedom, build open source cloud infra. You rent your ISP line. Why isn't renting G…

Why are you hoarding the 3090s T.T They've jumped from $700 to almost double on eBay.

Why do you have ten or so 3090s sitting in boxes?

I mean obviously it's worth it just so you can flex on HN. But curious whether there was any other reason? Retired scalper?

Also privacy and offline capabilities.

Deepseek will run fine on a single m5 max, cutting that 24 years in half.

also worth remembering API price includes power, just dividing price of the hardware by usage doesn't

The post is also misleading because the m5 max 128 gb costs a lot and you can only run DS4 flash quantized, thus not a 1:1 comparison.

agreed. when using local models, they did send your prompts to openai with 30 day retention to make the titles, silently.

their recent changes to the privacy policy broke their promise of zero data retention. specifically, they offered chatgpt luna under a zero data retention privacy policy. luna was later shown to be 30 days retention.

their privacy policy has never guaranteed your prompts will not be logged and when asked they have failed to revise it.

when challenged about sending data to openrouter without listing it as a 3rd party processor they offered a dismissive response. the same with running prompts through cloudflare. seems trivial, but signifies general disinterest in security.

by default if you run the harness outside your config file by accident, it will automatically run silently with a free model that sends your prompts and local data to an endpoint with training enabled. on top of that it used to dump all the prompts sent to free models into an s3 bucket, the feature was literally called 'datadumper' in the source.
