Everyone's talking about running AI locally, but almost nobody explains what it actually is or how to get it working. In this video I cut through all the jargon — weights, quantization, VRAM, inference engines — and give you the honest, clear version. Then I show you four completely different ways to run a model on your own machine, from a simple desktop app all the way to pure Python code.
