What runs where, and who may start it

Agents and your own AI

The question is no longer “ChatGPT, yes or no”. The question is what runs where and who may start it. Local and in-house AI is growing alongside the cloud: a Mac mini handles inference, open weights keep closing the gap, and agents are the product of the year and the risk of the year. This series takes you from your first local model to a control room you run the whole thing from — and to the rules without which it all falls apart.
