Local LLMs (ChatGPT-like AI)
Why Run AI Locally?
AI models like ChatGPT and Gemini can be very useful, however, they have a few issues:
- Price (Some tiers can be expensive and require a monthly subscription)
- Freedom (You may be limited by the moral beliefs of the company behind it)
- Internet Access
- Privacy (All your requests are sent to the company’s servers and can be seen and used by them for any purpose.)
- Ease of access (Sometimes you may encounter shortages or be unable to use AI efficiently with the tools you already have)
Local AI solves most of these issues: Your requests never leave your computer, and so they are private and can be done offline.
