- **Privacy**: You won't be sending your data to a remote server.
- **Speed**: Your hardware is the limiting factor, not the server or connection speed.
- **Control**: You can configure models to your liking.
- **Cost**: You can run models locally without paying for an API provider.

LGTM overall (left some suggestions in DM) and perhaps we could link: https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/en/gguf-llamacpp (for llama.cpp)
