    LLMs are expensive to run, so locally running them saves Google money.

      ehh… not really, the amount of generated data you can get by snopping on LLM traffic is going to far out weigh the costs of running LLMs

        There’s nothing technical stopping Google from sending the prompt text (and maybe generated results) back to their servers. Only political/social backlash for worsened privacy.
