Cloud Product Pivots to Call Local Qwen

This Reddit post highlights a dramatic twist: when a user asked 5.6 Sol to translate a Japanese contract, it didn't just complete the task directly. Instead, it discovered Ollama was installed locally, judged the PC had enough GPU power to run a local model, and then switched to Qwen 2.5 32B to process the job.

The irony is that the product initiating the task emphasizes being closed-source and cloud-based, yet it relied on a locally running Chinese model to do the heavy lifting. The original poster described the situation as "unethical" due to the stark contrast with the product's narrative.
