My take on the parent (^) and grandparent (^^):

>> Local AI right now is a toy in comparison.

Charitable interpretation: Local AI (unclear; maybe gpt-oss-120b) isn't nearly as good as SoTA (unstated; perhaps Claude Opus 4.6). Unstated use case(s).

> I run local models on Mac studios and they are more than capable. Don't spread fud.

Charitable interpretation: On their Mac studio (could be a cluster or single machine: unclear), local models (unclear; maybe gpt-oss-120b, maybe not) are capable for their needs. Unstated use case(s). / The "Don't spread fud." advocates for accurate information, which is a useful goal in general. However, it was uncharitable and brusque. An alternative approach would have been to ask a clarification question.
