Yeah. But they're slow because most of us are GPU peasants. If someone were willing to drop $3-5K on a rig, they could probably run decent, dense models at greater than cloud speeds. Hell, with enough black magic, they could do it with less, but they'd have to go deep into the weeds.
OTOH, $3-5K buys you a shit ton on Open Router, Claude, Chat, Lumo etc.
The game is entirely rigged for "you will own nothing and be happy about it".
