In this Operator’s Cut, NLW is joined by Nufar Gaspar for a practical primer on why local AI suddenly matters and where to start. They break down the forces pushing companies to rethink full dependence on frontier cloud models — rising token costs, vendor fragility, capacity constraints, data control, and resilience — then walk through the basic layers of local AI, from hardware and open models to Ollama, LM Studio, agent harnesses, and the real tradeoffs of running AI on machines you control.
