Why use it though if it's not as good, and repeats itself.

Because it doesn't call out to the internet. I even put lmstudio behind firejail to prevent it from doing so. Thusly any code I feed it (albeit pretty trivial code) doesn't add to chatgpt's overarching data set.

It still can produce usable results. It's just not as consistent. Whenever it gets into a repetitive loop, I just restart it, resetting the initial context, which generally prevents it from repeating itself, at least initially. To be fair, I've also experienced this with chatgpt, just not as often.

TLDR; It's more private and still useful.
