Thank you

Just a simple feed curating some of the best discussions, papers, repos for all discussions happening related to running AI locally.

Def, i think this is the most important time to learn coding because now we interact with computers more than ever. And a good programmer who is able to think in code, write good programs rather than just instructions will do much better.

I also wrote about my journey with (re)learning coding - https://aishwaryagoel.com/thinking-in-code/

Most whimsical application of local ai so far

Bunch of things: 1. Building a local ai news feed to learn what's going on latest in terms of technical discussion, research papers, projects - https://local-ai-signal.vercel.app/ 2. Build a second brain by injecting years of my notes using hermes, luna model and obisidian

This is super insightful

Honestly this is a really cool idea and i am glad that there are companies being built in this space. This is closest to the vision of what i want to do next.

Great responses in this thread

I agree, i have seen a decent change in the outputs when i remember and operate it as a program instead of just random set of instructions

But that problem can be solved.

I like the analogy on ways to make small model useful.

This is so cool

Wrote this sometime ago - https://aishwarya-48913.medium.com/startup-pivots-how-we-ite...

some of the learnings are not applicable anymore, but i benefited a lot from the framework we created

This looks great. going to try it

Short answer - stress word started feeling like a joke

which hardware?

That's amazing.

Are you also building workflows, products that could be useful at your work?

One of the best applications of vibe coding.

This is amazing, what was the inspiration?

This is a huge cold-start problem. I want to connect with my friends with no ads, promotions etc. but getting them to download this is a problem

Started a new side quest of helping non technical women learn coding with cursor/claude and more. Hosting a 4 week series starting this week in SF - buildafterdark.com

Same, i do the same.. it helps me learn new things, make friends.

Is this reproducible? Any oss repo?

I know there are too many of them, found this benchmarks that my partner did - https://github.com/nickaggarwal/sandbox-test/blob/main/FULL_.... He is planning to add a few more of them.

I have been at this stage and failed at it. So i can tell you things not to do:

- It also matters at what PMF quality stage you are, like we were at a weak PMF when we started scaling from roughly 12 to 25.. and i hired leaders who used to report to me. So i lost touch with people on field. ( I should have kept things flat)

- Hired too many managers instead of IC.

- Focussed more on growth v/s retention

This is true. It's okay to overshare and look stupid.

It totally depends if you want to do this as a side gig or a full time thing.. if you want to something on the side.. maybe launch a saas.. for the first two ideas if you have a strong insight that can turn into a fulltime thing then only make sense burning your credits

This is a really good post

This is so weird and true. The most unfortunate thing is that a lot of these data enrichment platform where they encourage these workflows but its clear that end person doesn't appreciate it.
