I built an alternative to all the big players that can run fully local, where people own their data. I get hate. I picked OpenAI because they gave me better answers about encryption, responsibility and safety concerns for what I want to build next. I get hate.

I added yet another channel for my AI assistant Francis, he’s now helping me to get back in shape 😬 this year seems be the time where I‘m working more with a personal assistant .. and the cool thing about clawdbot is, that I‘m still keeping all the main context of my personal data locally on my PC

Simon P. Couch @simonpcouch.com · 20/01/2026
Whenever I read discourse on AI energy/water use that focuses on the "median query," I can't help but feel misled. Coding agents like Claude Code send hundreds of longer-than-median queries every session, and I run dozens of sessions a day. On my blog: www.simonpcouch.com/blog/2026-01...
A bar chart showing the electricity use of several daily activities with the subtitle "The 'typical query' is not a useful way to think about coding agents' energy use." The bar for a 'typical ChatGPT query' is not even visible. My median Claude Code session is somewhere between the average US household per minute and toasting bread for three minutes. My median day with Claude Code is something like running a dishwasher.

I've been putting in a lot of hours into working on and with LLM-based coding assistant tooling, and can say that for me, this has vastly increased my productivity, while code quality and maintainability have at least stayed the same. Sample of one, ymmv. Hence why studies are important.
