Cohere North Micro Vision: Laptop Inferno!
“Local AI: because nothing says 'free' like a fried motherboard.”
The story behind the toon
Cohere's models now run on your laptop for free, but the only thing actually training is your fan's desperate whine as it tries to cool a vision encoder.
What happened: A vision AI model that can now run on your own laptop using llama.cpp.
Why it matters: You can use powerful AI without cloud fees, but your laptop might overheat trying to keep up.
This Neural Toon is based on the story “llama.cpp support for Cohere models”.
