Tuning Your Local AI: Why Self-Hosted Models Feel Dumber Than They Are
Local LLMs feel dumb because of defaults, not weak models. Fix context length, quantization, chat templates, and sampling to close the gap with APIs.
What new AI models and tools can do, what they cost, how they compare, and how to run them yourself.

A practical howto on self-hosting your company's AI stack: break-even math, open models like DeepSeek V3, and tools like SIE and FreeToken.

Employees are bypassing API costs with free Claude proxies and rogue bots. Here's how to govern shadow AI without killing the speed that makes it valuable.

An AI harness is the software around a language model that turns it into an agent. Here's what it does and how open-source servers use it.

Frontier AI APIs carry 5x to 50x markups over raw compute. Here is the real math on self-hosted inference, routing, and when each wins.
