===Locally-hosted models===
+
Locally-hosted AI models run on the user's own hardware, without needing a connection to the internet. This offers the user vastly improved privacy, since their data never leaves their own devices. This can also be a more cost-effective option for some users, since they are using their own hardware, rather than purchasing and using tokens with a cloud provider.
