Bojan Tunguz Questions Interest in Local Models

Bojan Tunguz, founder and CEO of TabulAI, posted a quote asking why anyone remains interested in local models. The post appears alongside a note about AI providers revoking access to competing tools. Examples cited include OpenAI cutting off Cursor and Anthropic blocking Windsurf. The source lines frame these actions as evidence that external APIs carry sudden termination risks. No independent confirmation of the cutoff events appears in the packet beyond the quoted material. The conversation centers on the quoted remark and the listed cases of API changes.
