Local AI vs Cloud AI: cost & feasibility.
A four-page field guide. When self-hosted LLMs earn their place, the cost calculus, architecture choices that matter, and a 30/60/90 migration path. No drip campaign — just the PDF.
What's inside.
- 01Why local matters. Compliance, cost, and sovereignty — when each one tips the architecture.
- 02Cost calculator. The variables that matter, where cloud and local cross over, and how to stress-test your own numbers.
- 03Architecture choices. vLLM vs Ollama vs llama.cpp, GGUF / AWQ / GPTQ quantization, and the vector store decision matrix.
- 04Migration path. A concrete 30/60/90-day plan from cloud-only through hybrid to fully local.
