🚀 Explore this trending post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: âś… **What You’ll Learn**: I’ve been experimenting with running local models on and off for a bit and I’ve finally found a setup that seems to work reasonably. It’s nothing like the output of a SOTA model, but the excitement of being able to have a local model do basic tasks, research, and planning, more than makes up for it!
