Running Local AI
Run AI on your own hardware: why and when it beats the cloud, how to read your RAM and VRAM and size a model to fit, the runtimes and quantization that turn a file into a working chatbot, and how to use a local model well while staying honest about its limits. Four sections, each ending in a quiz, then a final exam and a certificate.
