How I'm Solving Local Inference
Addresses the shift toward per-token billing in AI tools and the rapidly improving quality of local models, prompting a move to local inference. Facing hardware limitations on a M2 MacBook Air, the author utilizes LM Studio’s LM Link feature to connect their powerful Framework 13 laptop over the local network. This setup allows the MacBook Air to leverage the Framework’s 64GB RAM for running models like qwen3-coder-next via the lms CLI, effectively combining portability with computational power while avoiding variable cloud costs.
