Running large language models locally is feasible when the model fits within the machine's memory and data privacy is paramount. For larger models or batch jobs that exceed local capacity, cloud-based solutions are more appropriate. The decision between local hardware and cloud services can be quantified by comparing hardware costs against hourly cloud rates, with local ownership becoming more cost-effective after several years of consistent usage.
