Now, EPFL researchers... have released new software that allows users to download open-source AI models and use them locally, with no need for the cloud to answer questions or complete tasks.

It's cool that they got LLMs running on local clusters of computers, but with the way it's written, they make it sound like people have not already been using local LLMs for a long time (including GPT-OSS 120B).
