Can confirm this works rather well, most things that integrate with LLMs, (agents, editors), support providing a remote (LAN) URL for Ollama, LM Studio etc.
But you do need a fast LAN connection, otherwise working with agents will be a pain.

Huh, how come? Low-latency I can understand, but I was under the impression that token throughputs were still barely exceeding dialup bandwidths.
I disagree LAN connection is the bottleneck. I do even work with it remotely via Tailscale on shaky hotel WIFI and it works fine (or as fine as any other API-based model).
