TENTANG EPISODE INI
Everyone has a list of open-source AI projects they want to try. But installing repos is not the same as building a stack.
Ryan Russon joins Miriah, Matt, and Chris to talk through the projects that actually teach you how AI homelabs work: Unsloth for training, Ollama and llama.cpp for local inference, Open WebUI for a usable front door, K3s for hosting, Longhorn and SeaweedFS for storage, and Prometheus/Grafana for observability.
We also get into build-vs-buy decisions, speech models like Whisper.cpp, Parakeet, and Granite, why state is where homelabs stop being cute, and why the best open-source projects are the ones that teach you what breaks next.
