Download the model and run locally is the most secure and privacy friendly way to use it.

It's absurd how little they know about what they are doing.
- I doubt they understand local vs server distinction.
  
  "Server is when we ask Amazon to build a backdoor, local is when we ask Microsoft"
- And that's exactly why they want to stop it
  
  Nah, Congress (esp the Senate) is a bunch of old people yelling at clouds, and sometimes they yell the same thing. Don't give them too much credit.
- It's easy to run a distilled version of the R1 model locally. It's very difficult to run the full version. Min $6k to get 7 tokens per second.
  
  Here's one for 2k if you don't mine jank (edit: and 3-4 tokens :) )

  I hear its easy, but I've had no luck at all on the most distilled models (for prelim testing), and am wondering how things have broken so badly.
