    Great video, thank you. 🐾

    YES, please do the advanced local model, Lora…maybe show creating an AI avatar/influencer or a short video on it.
    Since it is local, free it can run 24/7/366, so a bit slower is just fine…

    Great video! I really enjoyed it. It would be amazing to see you demonstrate how to generate images or videos using local AI in your next video!

    Now that’s what I call a review!

  3. @elmemyselfOct 11, 2026

    The passion on this fella is contagious, but the amount of incorrect information he shares at times is incredible as well.

  4. @Brycarroll223Oct 10, 2026

    Hi Alex, great video - your topics are always relevant to “now”. Is there an optimal machine? Or does the usefulness scale linearly all the way to the Mac Ultra?

  5. @kameeklucastaittOct 10, 2026

    Would love some more local Ai content, balancing out use cases for local Ai vs cloud Ai. For instance I imagine local Ai for finances maybe? Medical records? Or is the intelligence of cloud frontier models too strong to justify a local Ai that isn’t as intelligent?
