Our self-hosted ones are quite good and get the job done. We use them a lot for research, and it seems to do a better job than most search engines. We also link it to internal docs and it works pretty well for that too.
If you run a smaller model at home because you have limited RAM, yeah, you'll have less effective models. We can't run the top models on our hardware, but we can run much larger models than most hobbyists. We've compared against the larger commercial models, and they work well, if little slowly.
