    I don't understand why you would want to remove well-balanced and relatively small local-inference models that ship with every mac.

    Sure, not frontier levels but fine for basic tasks and they are off-the-cloud.

      I love local models, but the AFM advanced or whatever its called (the 20B local one) sucks. And it's not really used in MacOS outside of "fm" and very niche stuff. Siri is always cloud even if you're offline.
