Why Run AI Locally (and What Hardware You Actually Need)

The real case for local AI: privacy, zero per-token cost, no rate limits, full control. The three hardware paths (NVIDIA as the default, Apple Silicon, AMD), the memory-and-bandwidth math that decides everything, and named build recommendations for June 2026.
