I know I will invite ire with this, but I think a self hosted model is relatively acceptable. Get rid of the generative art and stick to things like code and evaluation via a model not being sourced by a massive data center (plus the capability to train a model in a way you may find even more acceptable than a default) and most if not all of the questionable aspects of LLMs fade away.
