The one I actually moved off the cloud is structured extraction from personal docs and meeting notes. Invoices, contracts, PDFs, transcripts into a strict schema (dates, amounts, decisions, action items). A local 7-14B instruct model is good enough for that if I give it the schema and keep the temperature low, and I'd rather those files never leave the machine. I still go back to a frontier model when the task is messy long-horizon reasoning, or when the writing itself is the product and I care about the voice. Local is good enough to replace the API for extraction. It's not there yet for the open-ended stuff.
