Local AI in 30 seconds

Three pieces, all on your computer

You download a free app and an AI model. The app runs the model on your own machine. No account, no cloud.

Your computer

1. An appWhere you type and reade.g. LM Studio, Open WebUI, a coding agent
2. A runtimeThe engine that runs the modele.g. Ollama, llama.cpp, MLX
3. A modelThe AI itself: one big filee.g. Qwen, Gemma, Llama… 2–60 GB

Your question goes from the app to the runtime, which runs the model and streams the answer back. Nothing leaves your computer.

Lesson 1: What is local AI?

How it works

Three questions. Honest answers.

We do the math for your exact computer, so you don’t have to learn it first.

2Say what you want to doChat, write, read long documents, code with an AI agent… each needs something different.
3Get models that feel goodRanked by how they’ll actually feel to use, with copy-paste install steps.

Why your computer matters

The same AI can type like a snail, or faster than you read.

Speed is measured in tokens per second (a token is about ¾ of a word). Tap the speeds to feel the difference. Your computer decides which one you get.

Why we’re different

“It fits” doesn’t mean “it runs well”.

Most calculators only check whether a model squeezes into memory. But your computer needs room to breathe too. We rate how a model will feel, from “Technically runs” to “Excellent”.
