Hey fellow developers! ๐Ÿ‘‹ Like many of us, I love the idea of running local AI models (LLMs) to keep my data private. But let's be real: not everyone has a massive, expensive GPU. Trying to run anything decent on an older CPU-only machine usually results in a system crash or unbearable lag. I wanted to solve this hardware barrier, so I started developing Aios . ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ What is Aios? Aios is an open-source, hybrid AI inference engine designed specif
