Cloud v. local is a different axis to secret v. open.
Claude is secret and cloud; Kimi on e.g. AWS is open and cloud; Kimi on your machine is open and local; If there are any closed and local models, I don't know what they are (Apple Intelligence, if I had to guess?)
I'd argue slightly differently from TeMPOraL: Cloud has advantages when the best models are the big ones. Right now this is so, but this may not always be the case. If we are in a world where the models stop improving at any point (for whatever reason) while hardware keeps getting better (it might or might not), then we may find the small cost benefit from operating at scale isn't worth the effort let alone the legal implications.
Unrelated, but for me the film called Kimi is higher in search rankings than the model is and oh wow we really do have a problem with the whole "finally the torment nexus" thing don't we.

2018 had a glut of Netflix sci-fi B-movies that I think are very solidly good if not so great. I think they're underrated so I included them. I might have also messed up on the years.
These are all films I've seen. There are many others that I suspect are even better that I haven't seen.
In the new Soderberg movie, Kimi, the protagonist's job is similar to this. Commands from human users the AI-thingy can't understand are provided for her and she "explains" them using some kind of structured language.
