Teknium Backs Local Open Models: Control Over Grokbot Any Day

Teknium · x · 2026-08-13

Teknium, the creator of the well-known open-source Hermes models, reposted and agreed with a blogger's take on rejecting Grokbot.

The original poster stated that compared to restricted closed-source products, he prefers local models because they offer complete control and freedom of choice—the ability to switch models or use multiple models simultaneously. He rejects any product that doesn't give users freedom. Teknium fully endorsed this perspective.
