Five guys, five machines, and one question: what actually works?
No debate this week. No vote. We just opened up our laptops and showed each other what we're actually running, what broke, and what turned out to be worth the trouble.
Jacob figured out the whole local-plus-cloud workflow on a train from Munich to Paris with a spotty hotspot. Robert and Jacob are both splitting AI work across multiple machines with NVIDIA's new Personal AI Router, which means that graphics card in your desk drawer just became useful again. And Frank built an app that tells Uber drivers where to be, running entirely on a server in his office, controlled from his phone.
Plus: Mozilla says the gap between the best cloud models and the ones you can download has narrowed to about four months. Neil takes over the Surface AI Factory. Robert finds out about it live on the show.
And if you've ever thought "I could never run AI myself," the whole middle of this episode is the answer. There's no syntax anymore. It's just a conversation.
