Local AI notes
Talk write-ups from a meetup I used to run
I used to run a GTA meetup called Techalicious. It is gone now, but the talk notes are still useful, so I keep them here.
Most nights were about local AI: running models on your own machines, searching documents you already have, and not sending work data out to a cloud chat. If you want the Faculty RAG story, start with Build Your Own Oracle. The other cards are the rest of those talks.
For current meetups and RSVPs, I am on Luma.
