Yeah, I got a superbly functional and super fast search / research / assistant tool from Qwen 3.6 35B and Open Web UI + SearXNG. All running local. It passed the WAF benchmark with flying colors.
It’s honestly incredible how good the local stack is nowadays. It’s literally better than any frontier model you could’ve rented like a year ago.
Why does Ollama only have a cloud version?
Because how else will they take care of vendor lock-in without such requirement?

Mainly data sovereignty. Running a local model means all your data stays on your machine. Any time you use a service you’re sending whatever the model is working on to the company. Another advantage is the price. With services you have to pay a subscription, with local models you get to run them for the price of electricity.
