Orkas's "local-first" refers to the way the application and data are organized and does not mean model inference is automatically offline; cloud models still require network access and fees, the packaged version requires an account, and automated tasks will not continue running after the computer is turned off.

UnverifiedLocal-first does not equal fully offline; model inference may still call cloud services, and the specific data boundary depends on the product implementation.71% similarUnverifiedLocal inference refers to an AI model running directly on a device's chip, offering faster responses, no network dependency, and keeping private data on-device; cloud inference sends requests to a server for processing, which can leverage larger models but is subject to network latency and data-upload risks.71% similarUnverifiedThe trade-off of a local-first architecture is that users must maintain their own local environment, and compute performance is limited by local hardware, representing an objective gap compared to cloud-based large models.70% similarUnverifiedThe core trade-off of locally deploying a large model is: upfront investment in GPU hardware and operations costs, and model capability is usually slightly inferior to top cloud models, but in exchange you get data sovereignty, offline availability, and unlimited calls.70% similar
