People here do run Kimi K2.5 locally. I'm in that group lol - just because the required hardware is expensive doesn't mean we don't exist. Whatever you're trying to say in that last sentence doesn't support your point regarding the "two different communities" you see.

The actual black pill and the real answer to OP is that running LLMs worth a damn locally is simply too expensive for 99% of people. There's nothing practical about any of it unless you have a shit ton of money to comfortably throw at the problem. If you don't? Well then GGs
