Paperback. What if your PC could become your private AI workstation-without sending your sensitive data to someone else's servers?Are you tired of cloud AI services handling your documents, source code, prompts, or personal information? Have you tried running an LLM locally only to discover that VRAM, RAM, quantization, model size, and performance are more complicated than the tutorials suggested?Do you want a local coding assistant or AI agent, but worry about giving an AI system access to your files, terminal, or development environment? Or are you frustrated by guides that show you how to launch a model but never explain why it fails, slows down, runs out of memory, or becomes difficult to maintain?Local AI on Your PC takes a different approach.Instead of focusing on copy-and-paste commands, this book teaches you how to design, build, secure, evaluate, troubleshoot, and maintain practical AI systems on consumer hardware.You'll learn how to move from experimentation to engineering: From guessing whether a model will fit to sizing hardware and memory requirements intelligentlyFrom downloading random models to choosing models, runtimes, formats, and quantization levels deliberatelyFrom basic chat to private RAG assistants over your documentsFrom AI-generated snippets to repository-aware coding assistantsFrom prompts to safer autonomous coding agents with controlled tool accessFrom mysterious failures to systematic benchmarking and troubleshootingFrom isolated tools to integrated workflows using APIs, applications, files, databases, Git, and development toolsInside, you'll discover how to work with local LLMs, coding agents, image generation, speech, audio, video, automation, and multimodal workflows while understanding the hardware and software constraints behind them.You'll learn how VRAM, RAM, context windows, KV cache, quantization, GPU acceleration, storage, latency, throughput, and thermal behavior affect real workloads. You'll also learn how to protect credentials and private data, isolate network services, restrict agent capabilities, validate AI-generated results, and build systems that remain dependable as models and runtimes change.Whether you're a beginner tired of incomplete tutorials, a developer building private AI tools, a privacy-conscious user, a PC enthusiast optimizing existing hardware, or an AI early adopter, this book gives you a practical engineering framework for making better decisions.Because running a model is only the beginning.The real goal is to build local AI you can understand, control, troubleshoot, and depend on.If you're ready to move beyond fragile experiments and build a capable private AI environment on hardware you control, this is the guide that will help you make local AI work-and keep working.

What if your PC could become your private AI workstation—without sending your sensitive data to someone else’s servers?
Are you tired of cloud AI services handling your documents, source code, prompts, or personal information? Have you tried running an LLM locally only to discover that VRAM, RAM, quantization, model size, and performance are more complicated than the tutorials suggested?
Do you want a local coding assistant or AI agent, but worry about giving an AI system access to your files, terminal, or development environment? Or are you frustrated by guides that show you how to launch a model but never explain why it fails, slows down, runs out of memory, or becomes difficult to maintain?
Local AI on Your PC takes a different approach.
Instead of focusing on copy-and-paste commands, this book teaches you how to design, build, secure, evaluate, troubleshoot, and maintain practical AI systems on consumer hardware.
You’ll learn how to move from experimentation to engineering:
-
From guessing whether a model will fit to sizing hardware and memory requirements intelligently
-
From downloading random models to choosing models, runtimes, formats, and quantization levels deliberately
-
From basic chat to private RAG assistants over your documents
-
From AI-generated snippets to repository-aware coding assistants
-
From prompts to safer autonomous coding agents with controlled tool access
-
From mysterious failures to systematic benchmarking and troubleshooting
-
From isolated tools to integrated workflows using APIs, applications, files, databases, Git, and development tools
Inside, you’ll discover how to work with local LLMs, coding agents, image generation, speech, audio, video, automation, and multimodal workflows while understanding the hardware and software constraints behind them.
You’ll learn how VRAM, RAM, context windows, KV cache, quantization, GPU acceleration, storage, latency, throughput, and thermal behavior affect real workloads. You’ll also learn how to protect credentials and private data, isolate network services, restrict agent capabilities, validate AI-generated results, and build systems that remain dependable as models and runtimes change.
Whether you’re a beginner tired of incomplete tutorials, a developer building private AI tools, a privacy-conscious user, a PC enthusiast optimizing existing hardware, or an AI early adopter, this book gives you a practical engineering framework for making better decisions.
Because running a model is only the beginning.
The real goal is to build local AI you can understand, control, troubleshoot, and depend on.
If you’re ready to move beyond fragile experiments and build a capable private AI environment on hardware you control, this is the guide that will help you make local AI work—and keep working.

Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
Excepciones al derecho de desistimiento
El derecho de desistimiento no se aplica a lo siguiente:
- La entrega de periódicos, diarios o revistas, con la excepción de los contratos de suscripción; y
- El suministro de contenido digital que no se proporcione en un soporte tangible (por ejemplo, en un CD o DVD) si, al hacer el pedido, aceptó que podíamos empezar a entregarlo y que no podría desistir una vez iniciada la entrega.
