> Local means very high, relatively expensive machines to deploy models. Pricing tires, too, makes it expensive long term. There are too many moving parts, too. For example, "Pieces Workstream Pattern Engine and Live Context," where do I track this down? It is, oddly, the most resource-intensive tool, I think.

> Still, as an old dog, I wonder: How are the makers of 'Pieces' earning money if the tool is for free? Or are there any pro-features?

> I especially appreciate the emphasis on privacy and local data storage, One feature I find incredibly useful that wasn’t mentioned is the ability to quickly organize and search through saved snippets, making it easier to retrieve specific code blocks when you need them the most.
