"Playing video games also uses a GPU. Is using a local LLM for coding any worse than that?"

"I get asked this rhetorical question a lot, in various forms:"

"Sure, datacenters might use a lot of energy, but you don’t have to use a hosted frontier model to do software development. What if I just run a local open-weights model to do some coding, with an open-source coding agent? Video games also use my GPU. Is local model development any worse than playing a video game?"

"So I want to write down my comprehensive answer to this: Yes, using an LLM to write some code is worse than playing a video game, for a few reasons."
