Local LLM Inference
The process of running large language model inference directly on local hardware without calling cloud-based APIs, keeping data on-device. It is suitable for privacy-sensitive scenarios but is constrained by the computational capabilities of consumer-grade hardware.

The author's monthly running cost for local LLM inference in the first three months (hardware amortization plus electricity) was about $58 to $73, versus a cloud API monthly bill of about $180 to $240 at equivalent usage, a net saving of $107 to $180 per month, breaking even around the fourth month.
