You can. Have a look at Ollama. Totally local and open source. Works

Training and inference are two different things. Other than toy datasets I
doubt much training will happen locally.

Realistically, I think it's going to be quite a while,
if ever, before we can put together a decent box for inference.

In this gold rush, all the excess profit is in "mules and shovels".
A mule I was looking at today, the price is $8500 or so.

This kind of pricing, is hardly encouraging.

It would be cheaper, to build a wooden box, and
put a midget inside the box, and have it answer
questions. Can anyone give me a price on a
PhD class midget ?
