Developer builds AI tool offline on flight, comparing local vs cloud models

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Dmitri Lerko conducted an experiment developing an analytical tool during a ten-hour flight using a local AI model on his MacBook Pro M5 Max. The model, Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B run via LM Studio and OpenCode, performed comparably to cloud models for well-defined tasks but struggled with context exceeding 100,000 tokens. Lerko noted that the cost-effectiveness of local AI depends on the number of attempts and waiting time, contrasting it with the potentially higher per-request cost but faster completion of cloud-based frontier models like Claude Opus. He emphasized that a functional local AI development setup requires not just the model but also pre-loaded Docker images, development environments, and command-line tools. AI
