#4I have used Cowork so much over the last couple of months and I have no reason to switch. But I’ll definitely give this a try.

#5I don’t get it. It says nothing leaves your computer, but it’s sending things to OpenRouter, not running models locally. Perhaps I am dumb (and I always feel dumb after reading an AI generated README for yet another AI tool Tbf)

> Yes. OpenYak is local-first. Your conversations and files are stored only on your machine. When using cloud models, only API calls to LLM providers leave your computer.
So local-first and still upload files to cloud models if you configure it.
