Why this hub exists. Cloud AI is great until the bill, the outage, or the “please don’t paste that into ChatGPT” moment at work. Local AI on Windows is messy — RAM vs VRAM myths, wrong model sizes, Defender locking folders — and most guides assume a Linux lab. These pages stay practical for a normal Windows box.
