The Local AI Stack: Models, Hardware, and Privacy | 0xSero at Builder

Show Notes

At June's Builder meetup (https://buildersf.ai/) @0xSero gives a practical talk on local AI - why running models at home matters for cost, privacy, learning, and long-term independence. He covers local hardware options, benchmarks, quantization, model compression, and real-world AI automation demos. 0:00 - An example of local AI doing real work 0:39 - Why cloud AI keeps getting more expensive 4:10 - The best models might disappear 6:43 - The case for running AI locally 11:25 - Choosing the right local AI setup 14:12 - How to benchmark local models 22:03 - The best local AI hardware options 26:18 - Are powerful models becoming weapons? 29:40 - How model compression actually works 35:48 - The future of small local models 🌐 Learn more: https://buildersf.ai/ 🌐 Learn more: https://www.presidiobitcoin.org/
