New possibilities for running powerful AI models locally
Published
The world of artificial intelligence is developing at a rapid pace. For tech enthusiasts and developers, it is now possible to run advanced AI models, such as the new Nemotron 3.5 Bolt, directly on their own computers instead of via an external cloud service. This offers users more control over their data and the way the model functions.
To use such powerful models locally, specific hardware is required. Recent technical manuals show that a system with a Linux operating system and a powerful graphics card is essential. Users need at least 24GB of video memory (VRAM), as available on modern cards from the NVIDIA RTX series, to perform the calculations smoothly.
Running AI models locally is becoming increasingly popular in the Netherlands, especially among professionals and hobbyists experimenting with new technologies. By installing the software on their own equipment, users are not dependent on an internet connection or the servers of large tech companies. This makes the process not only safer, but also more accessible for those who want to work with the latest 74B models.
Although the technical barrier for installing these systems is still relatively high, the instructions are becoming increasingly clear. With a step-by-step plan of approximately thirteen steps, advanced users can now get started themselves. This development shows that the power of AI is moving ever closer to the individual user, opening new doors for local innovation in the Dutch tech sector.
