Yeah no it didn’t. If you have a fully speced out M3/4 MacBook with enough memory you’re running pretty decent models locally already. But no one is using local models anyway.
I run a local model on the daily. I have it making tickets when certain emails come in and made a small that I can click to approve ticket creation.
It follows my instructions and has a nice chain of thought process trained.
Local LLMs are starting to become very useful. Not OpenClaw crap.
I’m not sure what model I’d trust locally with anything meaningful in Openclaw. The smaller/simpler the model is, the greater the chance of fluff answers is.
Technically you can get most MoE models to execute locally because RAM requirements are limited to the active experts' activations (which are on the order of active param size), everything else can be either mmap'd in (the read-only params) or cheaply swapped out (the KV cache, which grows linearly per generated token and is usually small). But that gives you absolutely terrible performance because almost everything is being bottlenecked by storage transfer bandwidth. So good performance is really a matter of "how much more do you have than just that bare minimum?"
Oh sure it is! I’ve helped set up an AI cluster rack with four K2.5s.
With some custom tooling, we built our own local enterprise setup:
Support ticketing system
Custom chat support powered by our trained software-support model
Resolved repository with detailed step-by-step instructions
User-created reports and queries
Natural language-driven report generation (my favorite — no more dragging filters into the builder; our (Secret) local model handles it for clients)
In-application tools (C#/SQL/ASP.NET) to support users directly, since our software runs on-site and offline due to PPI
A cool repair tool: import/export “support file packet patcher” that lets us push fixes live to all clients or target niche cases
Qwen3 with LoRA fine-tuning is also incredible — we’re already seeing great results training our own models.
There’s a growing group pushing K2.5s to run on consumer PCs (with 32GB RAM + at least 9GB VRAM) — and it’s looking very promising. If this works, we’ll be retooling everything: our apps and in-house programs. Exciting times ahead!
Palestinians living in the Palestinian Territories are not Israeli citizens and cannot vote. I would say the Palestinian Territories are occupied, not part of Israel (though Bibi definitely has a sizable camp in his government that would love to make it so).
Do we expect occupied peoples to have a vote? sort of depends how you define democracy. Under an American interpretation (no taxation without representation, 1 person 1 vote) there’s a good argument that you should count occupied peoples.

Palestinians are not taxed by Israel. They are taxed by the Palestinian Authority, and participate in Palestinian elections. So they do have representation - just not in Israel.
If we are talking about Democracy—which is where I started this—then yes. If occupied peoples don’t have representation in the government occupying them, yes, that’s very obviously less democratic than if they did. Quite literally by definition. This shouldn’t be controversial.
How many times were they offered statehood. How many times did they attack Israel? Why is there a wall? You know what happened when the wall went up and security blockades went in? The number of Palestinian suicide bombings dropped. Palestinians have decades of history of terrorism. They could have been like Singapore. But they chose terrorism.
Palestinians already have statehood: Palestine is a state, just like israel is a state. They are exactly equal in value and in their right to exist free from coercion by the other.
The issue is that israel is attacking, invading, occupying, annexing, and genociding the state of Palestine.
