Hello and welcome to The Mindshift AI Inference, my daily dose of AI for you!

I am writing this post with the help of a local AI running directly on my computer.

Most people assume tools like ChatGPT must live in the cloud. That assumption is wrong. You can now run strong language models locally, without accounts, subscriptions, or servers you do not control.

A simple way to do this is with Ollama. Ollama lets you download and run modern language models on your own machine with a single command. Once installed, the model lives entirely on your computer.

Nothing you type leaves your device. No prompts. No drafts. No context. This changes the privacy equation completely.

Local AI also changes speed and reliability. Responses are instant. There is no downtime caused by traffic spikes or policy updates.

What matters most is choice. Cloud AI is one option. Local AI is another. Knowing that you can host your own intelligence stack is the real shift.

Have a great day!
Matthias
