Matt Shumer mocks local models as 'basically useless,' says buy Claude Ultra instead

Matt Shumer posted a tongue-in-cheek take: with "magic AI in the sky," local models are "basically useless" — take the $10k you'd spend on hardware and buy Claude Ultra plans instead. The quoted post argues the opposite: Qwen 3.8 Flash Next for planning and Qwen 3.8 27B for execution (mostly coding) will save you a lot of money. A classic salvo in the cloud-vs-local model debate.
