What is Local AI?
Also called: On-device AI
Local AI runs on your own computer or server instead of in the cloud. Your data stays on the device.
Example
You summarise confidential notes with a model that runs offline on your laptop.
For pros
You need an open-weight model, suitable software and enough memory, ideally a strong GPU. Small or quantised models also run on ordinary laptops but are less capable.
