About this session

Not every feature needs a frontier model and a network round trip. Amara demonstrates quantised models running on a laptop, a phone and a €60 single-board computer, with honest numbers for latency, quality and battery. A practical introduction for anyone who wants private, offline AI features.

What you'll take away

  • How to pick a model size for a given task and device
  • What quantisation costs you in quality, measured
  • A starter setup you can run on the laptop you brought
