Ch 1 · Breaking free from the cloud
007skaty Local AI Computing
Running AI on my own machine (all offline!) / Private data on a local screen (yeah, unseen!)
007skaty Computer scientists developed smart compression techniques that shrink massive cloud-based AI models so they can easily run on standard consumer computers.
Fun Fact
Offline AI: In 2024, researchers successfully ran a fully functional, conversational AI model on an offline Android smartphone using less power than a standard flashlight.
007skaty Running AI models locally eliminates the time spent sending data over the internet, providing near-instantaneous responses even when completely offline.
Glossary
edge computing (noun)
A distributed computing model that processes data near the source of generation rather than in centralized servers. In 2024, developers utilized offline tools like Ollama to run neural networks directly on personal computers.
