I host my own AI, mostly for testing and because I wanted something that was mine and mine alone. I use Ollama and run models like Llama, Mistral, and Qwen. I honestly don’t use it much, but I wanted to have my own setup just in case online services go down or become less available. It’s part of my whole “own everything I use” mantra that I’ve been on lately.
