Score · right
Mostly right - There were several Hacker News submissions related to local LLMs, including "Show HN: Ghost Pepper – Local hold-to-talk speech-to-text for macOS" and "Launch HN: Freestyle – Sandboxes for Coding Agents". While it's difficult to quantify "increased discussions", the presence of these submissions suggests a rise in related topics.
