I do. I can take my laptop anywhere I want, for example to a coffee shop and run a coding model while eating a croissant without worrying about an internet connection, as the term local model implies.

And you can warm up the croissant by just placing it on the trackpad while you wait for the LLM to finish

The coffee shop doesn't have wifi?

It's not very good and SSH is blocked.

I always use a VPN (to my own home server) for this reason (and other reasons) when connecting to public WiFi.
