Optional or not, I’d like core features to be privacy friendly and provider agnostic. Otherwise a plugin might be a better fit.

Seems like lots of knee jerking going on.
I haven’t seen an official demo of using ai features with a local instance. I believe it should be the other way round, the focus should be on local (because again, this is provider agnostic and privacy friendly).

There is not a single line this is that is true. A big show was not made and you can use Ollama with it. The “big show” was made by other people not the developer behind iTerm2.
