Vicki Boykis says local models are good now. A 1,245-point Ask HN thread splits into two camps. Boosters measure whether local open-weight models handle daily coding. Skeptics measure whether they match cloud frontier models on hard tasks. The turning point is not that models suddenly got smart, it is that open weights crossed a usable line and local agent tooling redefined good enough. The builder question: not can it work, but how far apart are success rate, latency, and cost on your actual tasks, and is the gap worth trading privacy and control for.

The real signal in DeepSeek V4 is a 1.6T MoE plus serving-side engineering that makes frontier capability affordable and self-hostable. It is the first time the open-weight camp leads on cost-per-token and throughput rather than chasing SOTA.
