| Cons | - − Slower without GPU
- − Complex configuration
- − Some API endpoints incomplete
- − Documentation could be clearer
| - − Young v1.0 project with fast-moving docs and releases
- − Local-first does not mean cloud-free unless configured that way
- − Personal-agent presets may need access to sensitive local files, email or calendar data
- − Efficiency claims are project-reported and should be tested on your own workloads
