When NOT to use localGPT

Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.

  • If you need to work across multiple devices seamlessly because localGPT requires installation on each device and does not synchronize state online.
  • In scenarios requiring frequent updates or model tuning from a cloud service; localGPT relies solely on locally available models which do not auto-update.
