Tech Dinner - Local AI
Details
We’re gathering once again to share a meal, grab a drink, and trade notes on how we're actually using AI today.
No slides, no sales pitches - just honest conversations with people who are actively building and breaking things.
Topic: Local AI - Use Cases & Setups
- Local Models: What are you actually building, running, or tinkering with entirely on your own machine?
- Wins & Fails: What has legitimately saved you time, and what completely failed due to latency, hallucinations, or bugs?
- Your Setup: What does your hardware and software stack look like (Macs, GPUs, Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, etc.)?
- The Future: Where is this heading in the next 6–12 months regarding edge compute, smaller models, and privacy?
Who Should Join? Whether you're a software engineer, founder, hardware enthusiast, or just deeply curious about open-source AI, you're welcome at the table. You don't need a polished product to show up - just bring your curiosity, your experiences, and your appetite.
