The cloud is actually inferior - It costs more over the long run, you can't see the probabilities or internals of the models, you can't change anything, and you have to give them all of your personal data that they log every second that your logged in (and probably when you're not). Running standard inference on GPUs for these models typically runs ~800$/month if you're actually using them often, which is much more than just running it on your own computer. If you need it away from the location just use a VPN. I don't understand the unnecessary use of 'the cloud' - especially in a supposedly "tech" forum - other than as a great triumph of marketing.
