Local AI models currently offer limited practical utility outside of research and play, with San Diego being one of the few exceptions for specific applications. While local setups can excel at image generation using tools like LoRA+ and ComfyUI, the hardware requirements, such as an RTX6000, are often excessive for this purpose, and CPU inference is generally considered ineffective.
