I stopped dumping raw sources into NotebookLM, and it got so much better

The source was the problem all along

Claude on a laptop screen
I found this Claude feature so good that I canceled ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity

The AI feature I actually needed.

Unsloth running on a MacBook
Unsloth's new desktop app does the one thing LM Studio and Ollama never let me do

It lets me fine-tune the models.

Auto mode is now Claude Code's default, and it changes how fast you can actually build

And surprisingly, it actually beefed up security

Running Perplexica
I don’t pay for Perplexity or ChatGPT after combining my local LLMs with Perplexica and SearXNG

It's a neat way to avoid outdated responses to my queries

I gave Qwen 3.8 27B a reverse-engineering job I assumed needed a frontier model, and it finished in 30 minutes
AI

Qwen 3.8 27B genuinely shocked me with what it achieved here.

I tried VS Code, Cursor, and Devin Desktop for a month and I have a clear winner for you

Not all AI coding feels equal.

Multiple Local AI tools on Windows 11 laptop
I tested 5 local AI tools, and one clearly stands out for beginners

Not every local AI tool is built for beginners.

Claude Sandbox MacBook
I gave Claude Code its own disposable computer, and stopped caring what it installed

I can finally stop approving commands.

I added one thing to my NotebookLM prompts, and it stopped giving me answers I never asked for

Sometimes it tries to do too much

Chatgpt, gemini, and claude with notes in the background
I gave ChatGPT, Claude, and NotebookLM my entire semester — one was built for the way students study

One of them understood the assignment

KoboldCPP running local LLMs on Lenovo Legion Windows 11
After trying 20+ local LLMs, these are the 4 I keep installed for different jobs

My local AI setup isn’t about collecting models, it’s about having the right model ready for the job at hand.

antigravity skill on desktop pc, lego and lamp in view
I set up Antigravity the way Google itself recommends, and it stopped forgetting everything between sessions

It wasn't Antigravity's fault, I just didn't give it enough to work with

Home Assistant on mac
I replaced my home lab scripts with a local AI model, and scripts won every time

Local LLM failed often

Plex running alongside Claude Code
I let Claude Code optimize my Plex library and reclaimed 8TB of storage

It does a surprisingly good job at cleaning up.

7 ways I make Claude Code use fewer tokens without hurting the results

Blaming Anthropic won’t save your tokens

Claude Code got better when I stopped treating it like a code editor and started using it like this instead

Work smarter, not harder

Llama-cpp scheduling Google Calendar.
I connected my local LLM to Google Calendar, and it schedules my day better than I ever could

Also beats every productivity app out there

Comu action pro attached to Android phone
A $200 device replaced my phone's biggest job, and now I record meetings without killing the battery

I find myself using this device often.

Claude Code kept asking the same questions until I showed it this one markdown file

CLAUDE.md is what I was missing.
