That is not accurate; LLMs can definitely run locally on your machine.
Models can be downloaded and ran using Python. Here is an LLM released
under Apache 2 license [0]. There are "black-box" models, served in the
cloud, but the revolution we're is precisely because many models are
released freely and can be ran (and trained) locally, even on a laptop.
