That's actually a good move from them, profit from anthropic's short-sighted blunders.

I wouldn't be so confident they're being honest with their use of the term "offline". This company only has their own interest in mind, and their product is big data.

Solid move with Copilot's local support it's a smart way to lock down model access and keep your data off the cloud, making oversight way easier for anyone running production AI.
