You wouldn’t want him using a local model unless he was running some fancy rig that could run a high end frontier model. He might not have such a thing laying around. Using the best out there for something like this is how you help avoid bugs.
He definitely can afford it yes, but its still a big ask to want someone to spend 15-25k or whatever it would be (shits getting more expensive by the day) to use a tool that he can just do pay per use. The code is open source so its not like he’d be using a local llm to keep it private.
Honestly, his mind and the community is probably one of the best things out there at the moment. They live the Linux Kernel, while that thing he used does not think or understand anything. Eh, it would be better if they moved with care instead, as that is a good way to avoid bugs too. I don’t have a lot of faith in gassed up LLMs.
He’s doing it though. So that’s kind or moot. Fable is out there finding bugs in these things, so seems like if he is going to do it, using the thing that’s already making it more secure by finding multiple exploits is the right choice of what to use.

He gets paid more than enough to afford high end hardware.
