A DevOps engineer has developed a self-hosted AI platform named OzAI, designed to run open-weight LLMs on a laptop. The platform utilizes Ollama for model execution, LiteLLM as an API gateway with features like virtual keys and rate limiting, and Open WebUI for a ChatGPT-like interface. For recent event queries, it integrates SearXNG, and Grafana is used for monitoring. The initial setup leverages a MacBook Pro M1 Pro with 16GB of RAM, with plans to scale to GPUs on Amazon EKS in subsequent parts of the series. AI
