For quite a few alien species Cybertron must have always been an ugly, even life threatening globe without vegetation and barely any oxygen in the atmosphere, but for every Cybertronian, Autobots and Decepticons alike, it had been just the perfect place since the very their races came into existence.

Hardware for Local AI use
Hardware for Local AI use.
As of February 2026, getting that crazy cool hardware to run AI locally has become unattainable to many. Pricing on things are far beyond most people's ability to buy.
But.. it does not take the latest, hottest, most expensive hardware to run AI locally.
An example: I have my desktop here, it is an Intel I7 from 2017. ( 9 years old). I also have an Nvidia 1070 GTX graphics card. It works just fine for AI research.
However.. I also and a laptop with an Intel I5 CPU and an Nvidia 1650 GPU. As far as graphics cards (GPU) goes, that sucks. But I can still run AI work on it. Why?
Why old hardware can still work: When you use some tools like Ollama or LM Studio, they detect what hardware you have an configure themselves to try and run in it. It may not be fast, but it still runs. There are little things you will learn along the way about what will or will not actually work for you, but you are learning as you go.
What about the 'others': AI works on MAC

Tall Tails - Chapter IV
Chapter 4: Roots
Grey and Miyuki finished their meal together, both deciding to finish off the meal with a green tea ice cream cone to go, thanking the owners of the shop on their way out who gave a small bow and a smile. Both Grey and Miyuki agreed it was about time to head back home, it was already creeping into mid-afternoon and both of them had work to do. Miyuki in particular was eager to add her mental notes from the conversations earlier that day to her thesis notes, and Grey had notes to work in over the hardware he had checked on earlier as well.
“Thank you for lunch Grey, honestly, I feel like I learn so much every time I spend time with you, even if I don't understand a lot of it right away.” Miyuki smiled, her tail wagging a bit. Grey offered her an earnest smile in return. “Hey, it's my pleasure, honestly, you're ahead of the curve so to speak. A lot of people don't understand this level of depth regarding geomancy and even other foxes seldom show interest in this side
