Local LLMs are infrastructure when they serve workflows

Self-hosting an LLM is not valuable only because the model runs locally.

It becomes infrastructure when it supports workflows: summarization, coding, search, voice, document processing, agents, or private knowledge work. Local control matters when it improves privacy, cost, latency, or integration.

The model should serve a job.
