who tf is doing local "work with AI" lol

On a laptop, no less

even the huge models that you can't run locally are kinda mid and hallucinate a lot, why would you run some tiny local thing unless you're generating banned material

I use a local llm to re-write the tone of emails for my job so I'm not dripping with hatred and seething contempt

I have an LLM give my emails White Voice and it's helped a lot as someone who can't stand being "professional"

Links to what, Boots Riley's film or an LLM that will rewrite messages for you?

Because pretty much any of the open models will do the task now, depends on what hardware you have available as to what is best so I can only recommend searching "offline LLM".
