  1. Local-first: a Model on Your Own Machine, Zero Cloud

    This guide demonstrates how to set up a large language model locally, making it accessible via an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint. The process involves using Ollama on an Apple Silicon Mac to serve models like `gpt-oss:20b` or lighter alternatives such as `llama3.1:8b` for machines with less RAM. The tutorial emphasizes the stateless nature of LLM API calls, where the server does not retain conversation history, and the client is responsible for resending the full context with each request.
