AI on Your Machine: .NET, AI Foundry Local, and Zero Cloud Guilt
Details
Hi everyone,
Sorry for the late notice. For this month we're going to be partnering with a talk at the virtual Microsoft reactor you can register for the reactor meetup page here https://www.meetup.com/microsoft-reactor-redmond/events/313286176 or the event itself here https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/reactor/events/26826.
If you have seen me give this talk before there will be some added demo content like RAG on your local machine and maybe even a MCP server? Still TBD on the MCP server calls, but check it out and we'll see you next month!
What if you could build modern AI features without sending every prompt to the cloud—or paying per token?
This session dives into AI Foundry Local and shows how .NET developers can run models locally, integrate them into real applications, and keep both data and budgets under control. Perfect for developers who want AI power without cloud dependency.
