Step 3 of 3
Use AI locally and privately
How it works, in plain language. Then answer two short questions and get your personal advice.
What is it?
Run AI on your own computer, without internet or cloud. Your data never leaves your device.
How to start
- Install an app that runs open language models locally.
- Download a small model that fits your computer’s memory.
- Ask your questions in the app; everything stays local.
Watch out
- Local models are often less capable than the big cloud services.
- You need a reasonably fast computer with enough memory.
Tip: Start with a small model; bigger ones are slower and need more memory.
