💸 want to have a personal AI. How much money do you need?

• Software Fee: 0 Baht! (Loaded through Ollama or LM Studio for free)

• If there is already a brutal spec machine like the Mac Pro or MacBook Pro with high Unified Memory (such as 64GB or more)...Considered very lucky, almost no extra investment. Run a medium to large model comfortably!

🔥 Advantages of running private AI (compared to on Cloud)

1. 100% Secure Secrets (Privacy): Code written to customers or SaaS project data will not be exported outside the machine, ensure that secrets do not leak to other AI camps.

2. No Rate Limit: I will continue to run the API, run the Agent System, retrieve or browse the web day and night. No one will limit the quota.

3. Uncensored: No rules to frame the answer like a big camp.

🌧️ disadvantages to redeem.

1. Eat fierce fire: Run AI all day is like opening a small oven. The power charge is definitely darting.

2. Intelligence is also secondary: Local models size 8B - 70B are much better, but if you encounter very complex problems, some logic can't fight Trillion Parameters like Gemini Advanced or GPT-4o.

3. Must have a little Tech knowledge: When the model is broken, stale, or update the version, we have to wait for the setup.
