the localhost show

Five tech industry veterans figuring out AI on your own hardware, out loud, together.

Every week on the localhost: one host takes the hot seat to defend a provocative claim about local AI, open weight models, NPUs, or who really controls intelligence, while the other four try to take it apart. Then everyone votes. We keep score.

We don't just read the press releases. We download the models, benchmark them on our own machines, a used $700 graphics card included, and publish what actually happened, raw traces and all. When the marketing doesn't survive contact with our hardware, we say so. When we get it wrong, we say that too.

Expect head-to-head model bake-offs, the week's local AI news with sources, and five friends who genuinely disagree, on the record.

No hype. No scripts. No sponsors reading over our shoulder.

New episodes weekly. There's no place like 127.0.0.1.
