In 2026, a significant shift towards computing self-sovereignty is underway, extending beyond the blockchain realm. Key changes include a transition to open-source, privacy-focused tools. Users are moving from Google Maps to OpenStreetMap and OrganicMaps for location services, and from Gmail to Protonmail for secure communication. The emphasis is on reducing reliance on centralized services and enhancing privacy. The exploration of local large language models (LLMs) continues, with a focus on integrating these models into user-friendly interfaces. Despite progress, challenges remain in creating a cohesive ecosystem for local LLMs, which currently exist across various platforms. The goal is to minimize data sharing with third-party services by leveraging local processing capabilities and privacy-preserving technologies.
