Coverage for all sub-claims is 0.0. The skipped source 'Vitalik Buterin's website — My self-sovereign / local / private / secure LLM setup, April 2026' (price 0.004) likely discusses LLMs, which could address the third sub-claim. Its price fits within the remaining budget of 0.017, and it may also touch on commentary or references that could indirectly cover the other claims. No other skipped sources appear relevant to John Gruber or LLMs based on their previews.
