How-To Geek: My local LLM struggles with big questions—here’s what it’s actually good at. “When I first installed a local LLM, I expected to use it the same way that I’d been using ChatGPT. It soon became apparent that on my modest hardware, this wasn’t going to work. By changing the way I use my local LLMs, they’ve become much more useful.”

Jordan Fulghum: I built a private ChatGPT for my family. “My wife and kids do not want to SSH into anything, manage prompts, pick models, or learn the difference between a tool call and a RAG query. They want the box. I wanted that same shape at home, but private, grounded in our actual family documents, and steerable toward our values instead of some global average. So I built a private […]
