Why it worked

The post provides a valuable, actionable list of tools for users interested in running AI locally, addressing concerns about privacy and control. The clear, concise presentation of each tool with its GitHub repository details makes it easy for viewers to explore further, driving engagement and shares.

Summary

This slideshow presents five methods for running AI models locally on a user's own computer, emphasizing privacy and control over cloud services. It details tools like Ollama, Open WebUI, llama.cpp, LocalAI, and AnythingLLM, offering solutions for model runtime, chat interfaces, hardware optimization, API exposure, and document interaction.

Structure

3Method 2: Add a Private Chat UI with Open WebUI
4Method 3: Tune for Limited Hardware with llama.cpp
5Method 4: Expose a Compatible API with LocalAI
6Method 5: Chat with Your Documents using AnythingLLM

These ways to run AI locally keep more work on your hardware instead of sending every prompt to a cloud service. Local does not automatically mean secure, fast, or free: model licenses, device access, updates, and hardware capacity still matter. These ways to run AI locally cover five different setups, from a simple model runner to a private document workspace. 1. RUN MODELS WITH OLLAMA: Use Ollama for a straightforward local model runtime with a command-line and API workflow. 2. ADD A PRIVATE CHAT UI: Use Open WebUI to give an approved local runtime a browser-based conversation interface. 3. TUNE FOR LIMITED HARDWARE: Use llama.cpp when quantization and efficient inference matter on laptops, desktops, or edge devices. 4. EXPOSE A COMPATIBLE API: Use LocalAI to serve local models behind familiar API patterns for apps you control. 5. CHAT WITH YOUR DOCUMENTS: Use AnythingLLM to organize private workspaces that retrieve from documents you intentionally add.

What work would you rather keep off a cloud service? #runailocally #privacy #opensource #llm #selfhosted
