We are slightly miscommunicating.  Yes there are models that could run
locally on your machine, but all the ones I know of were released
under a nonfree license.

I haven't seen this before.  Maybe it is an exception.
Could you confirm that this is a language model itself, not the
program that runs the language model?

Could we please not use the term "cloud"?  There is no cloud, only
various companies' computers.  See
