> In-context, your reply reads like you're asserting that anthropic's offerings give you all the same control as a local model, and that having this baseline of control over a computer program is "utopian".

No, I’m talking about the idea up thread that having control over more settings removes all LLM defects with local models.

I have all the control I want over the local models they run. No combination of settings is going to make them outperform Anthropic’s models.

He didn't say that, and I didn't say that, because in fact neither of us were talking about just settings, so that's a pretty curious idea to be addressing.

And even this is addressing something nobody was saying, and manages to come off as a marketing read.
