Feeling the pinch of token costs? hitting usage limits? worried about privacy? Do you want to own rather than rent? Or just want to have fun playing with this magical tech, there is locally hostable AI for you.

We'll get you setup to run local models on your computer in this workshop. No fancy hardware or technical experience needed! - there's very usable AI for whatever device you own down to an iPhone or a Raspberry Pi.
