Join us in Logan for the Nov 2026 meetup: Join us for a presentation by Kirk: "Cost Is a Bug, Not a Feature: Running LLMs Locally" You don't need a data center to build with LLMs — you need an old laptop, a good model, and the will to stop overpaying. This session tears down the myths around running local LLMs and shows you how to run coding agents on hardware you already own. We'll cover how I'm cutting my API costs by running models locally, how OpenRouter fits into the mix, and how to pick the right model for each task. \#\# What to Expect * Interactive discussion * Networking opportunities with fellow developers \#\# Perks * Lunch will be provided, allowing you to feed your mind and body simultaneously. We look forward to seeing you there !
