(Newbie) what do you use local models for?

I’m a long time lurker and have a newbie rig. i run Qwen 3.6 27B and I use LM studio. I use it to summarize long and terse financial and legal documents that I don’t want to upload to cloud.

that isn’t everyday though and I am not really learning anything new. id like for this to be a hobby like how stable diffusion became a hobby for me. (endlessly interesting to this day)

for that to happen I have to wonder what others are using local models to do?
