Ever wonder if you really need to pay for an AI coding assistant every month? In this workshop, we’ll set up a free, open-source AI model that runs right on your own laptop — no subscription, no internet dependency, no code leaving your machine.
We’ll get it installed, hook it up to your code editor so you can use it for autocomplete and refactoring, and by the end you’ll have your own local AI coding setup up and running. Along the way we’ll talk honestly about what kind of hardware you actually need and where a local model holds its own versus where a paid tool is still worth it.
If you’re looking to cut costs, work offline, or keep client code private, this one’s for you.
