The same thing might have happened if she bought a Mac and needed some Windows only software.

Is it off, or is it an optional module that doesn’t have to be adding bloat to my system if I don’t want to use it?

LLMs can take up a pretty big storage footprint.

My biggest issue with that is the amount of bloat a full local LLM implementation would add.

But if it’s an optional module that you can choose to add (or choose not to add) after the fact, I have no complaint.
