VIEW THE BUILD Run your first LLM locally with Ollama
Your first local model. Your own machine.
Start small: install the runner, try a model, ask it something useful, and observe the tradeoffs before adding more hardware.

The tool is a choice. The outcome is the starting point. Jump into the live library by the kind of result you want to build.
Agents, tools, and useful constraints.
02 / TRACKPrivate inference and local infrastructure.
03 / TRACKRetrieval and answers grounded in your sources.
04 / TRACKRepeatable workflows with human checks.
05 / TRACKMCP, APIs, and clear data boundaries.
06 / TRACKEvidence, tests, privacy, and trust.
THE METHOD / A PROCESS YOU CAN FOLLOW
Start with a useful outcome and work within real constraints.
Show how the system works, including the choices and failures.
Document the steps, prompts, and configuration behind the result.
Adapt what works. Connect another piece. Test it again.
