And I'm a fatalist regarding AI. I put aside whether I'm for or against. AI just is and we have to deal with it.

Below the fatalism though, I've been excited for this day ever since I saw "2001" in the matinee theater as a kid (and also as a kid: played against a Tic Tac Toe computer at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago).

And that I can run some of these models locally? Heady times for my inner kid.

I've tried (and struggled) to understand how they work as well so that I am not ignorant on the subject—so that I can have an opinion a little better than a layman's.
