Dive into the reality of running local AI with Leo Laporte and the Club TWiT User Group! From debating new hardware like dual Sparks versus souped-up Macs, wrangling old gaming PCs back to life, and dishing out benchmarks and epic energy bills—this episode goes deep into homegrown AI setups, harnesses, agent orchestration, and yes, the slightly dangerous thrill of non-stop token burning. Real talk about open models, subscription regret, workflow hacks, and late-night AI obsession.
