rakibhossenai shares a cost-saving setup: keep one paid subscription for hard tasks and run a free local model for everything else. Install Ollama, run ollama run gemma4 (7-10GB download), and chat offline with data staying on-device; older laptops can use the smaller gemma4:e2b. The author admits local models won't match cloud flagships on complex reasoning. A screenshot shows gemma4 on Ollama with 28.7M downloads, offering vision, tools, thinking, and audio across sizes from e2b to 31b.
