Ask HN: What are you running locally on your machine with LLMs?

agcat — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 23:53:43 +0000

There is a lot of buzz around this topic but i am really curious about what's actually useful day to day when running AI/LLMs locally on your PC. A few things I'm trying to understand:

Which models are you running locally and on what hardware? What use cases have actually worked out considering the speed and memory limitation? At what point did local start making more sense than just hitting an API? What's still not there yet?

Feels like we're at an interesting inflection point but hard to cut through the noise on what's working v/s just setting it up

That's amazing.

Are you also building workflows, products that could be useful at your work?

I have been at this stage and failed at it. So i can tell you things not to do:

- It also matters at what PMF quality stage you are, like we were at a weak PMF when we started scaling from roughly 12 to 25.. and i hired leaders who used to report to me. So i lost touch with people on field. ( I should have kept things flat)

- Hired too many managers instead of IC.

- Focussed more on growth v/s retention

This is true. It's okay to overshare and look stupid.
