Right on, I like to use local models - even though I also use OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini.
I often use one or two shot examples in prompts, but with small local models it is also fairly simple to do fine tuning - if you have fine tuning examples, and if you are a developer so you get the training data in the correct format, and the correct format changes for different models that you are fine tuning.
