I think what's interesting is that the desire for local AI may inadvertently create a lot more local node users. It's a fraction of the actual compute local AI needs and just requires a decent amount of disk space.

Local-First AI Inference: A Cloud Architecture Pattern for Cost-Effective Document Processing

The Local-First AI Inference pattern routes 70–80% of documents to deterministic local extraction at zero API cost, reserving Azure OpenAI calls for edge cases and flagging low-confidence results for human review. Deployed on 4,700 engineering drawing PDFs, it cut API costs by 75% and processing time by 55%, while bounding errors through a human review tier.
