AI is here to stay, and it's far more than just using online tools like ChatGPT and Copilot. Whether you're a developer, a hobbyist, or just want to learn some new skills and a little about how these things work, local AI is a better choice.

Ollama, especially, because it only supports dedicated GPUs right now. But even if you're using LM Studio with integrated GPUs, you still need some decent hardware to get good performance.
