This is pretty much the arc I have been going on in the 2 months since I bought my ASUS GX10 for 3k EUR
Use whisper on the API -> realize it charged me $$$ for just a few calls -> migrate openclaw to use local whisper
Need to deduplicate news articles for my news engine -> download qwen embedding 8b
And now, gemma4-e4b finally seems like a viable alternative for a local model that runs around 20 tok/s
So I will install a matrix client to use through tailscale, and can finally build the social life CRM I dreamed of since years.
100% private, zero data going out. I had a bias of not giving any personal data to AI since ChatGPT came out. But I can finally give more personal data to my AI agent
And I will make sure @openclaw supports all this in an easy way, make it dead easy
Fully self-owned AI begins now
