Building a Local AI Lab

Follow along as I transform my idle laptop into a fully functional offline AI lab. In this series, I document my journey from procrastinating to running powerful Large Language Models (LLMs) completely locally. You will learn how to set up a dedicated Linux environment (Pop!_OS), install Ollama, run models like Gemma directly from the terminal, and eventually build a sleek, user-friendly Web GUI to manage your models seamlessly. This is the perfect guide for developers and enthusiasts who want to protect their data, escape cloud subscription costs, and put their GPUs to work.
