🌍 Why Local AI Matters More Than You Think

I had a great conversation with Jerm Warfare on UK Column, and we talked about the nuances of AI. AI can be a very powerful tool but there are costs that come with it. I read a recent study on how every cloud-based AI query can actually consume about a bottle of water’s worth of resources. That’s important to talk about.

That’s why we’re big on local AI — running it on your own device means no hidden water use, just your machine and a fan. It’s a small difference that makes a big impact.
