Reddit asks: Why can't AI coding agents run locally like Stable Diffusion?

A Reddit user asks why image generation has long been runnable locally via Stable Diffusion without paid tokens, while tools like Cursor seem impossible to self-host. They heard such tools rely on multi-model 'agent' architectures that can't run locally, and want to know whether this is a hard limitation or whether a local setup could reach even half of paid Cursor's capability.
