I have avoided AI (LLMS) because it didn’t seem nearly useful enough to warrant supporting these tech assholes. Is there anyway to use it locally on a normal device (16 Gb ram, 8 year old Geforce graphics, etc?). Can I just slow it down and get it to work locally?


OP said they didn’t want to support billionaires and data centers
The money used to make zdr requests on openrouter to good models like GLM 5.3 flows into large inference providers like fireworks and baseten
Yes, copy pasting is a terrible way to vibe code. But my point is it’s still going to be better than trying to ollama with a 1060 and 16 GB RAM
