Cognition Core does not claim that large local models execute purely inside a browser tab.
The intended product shape is:
- browser UI optional
- local native model execution authoritative
- no cloud required
- no always-on local daemon required
Use this framing:
Browser-based interface, local native GGUF execution.
Do not use this framing:
- pure browser-native execution for arbitrary large models
- install-free universal CPU execution in tab
- serverless in the sense of remote-web-only inference
The browser is the interface layer.
The local binary or final .llamafile is the execution layer.
