==Alternatives==
If a machine has enough resources, several AI models can be downloaded and run locally properly. Local models do not require a network connection in order to work, and the user can control and manage them, making them a good privacy-friendly alternative. Software like [https://ollama.com/ Ollama]  (an open-source program that also can be integrated with other software) allow to download and run local models. [https://lmstudio.ai/ LM Studio] is a more user-friendly alternative with a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows to download and run easily local models.
