Anyone running a newer MacBook Pro can install Ollama and run it with just a few commands:

brew install ollama

ollama run deepseek-r1:14b

Then you can use it at the terminal, but it also has API access, so with a couple more commands you can put a web front end on it, or with a bit more effort you can add it to a new or existing app/service/system.

Unfortunately I think most businesses will still prefer that their AI solution is hosted by a company like OpenAI rather than maintaining their own. There’s still going to be a need for these large data centers, but I do hope most people realize that hosting your own LLM isn’t that difficult, and it doesn’t cost you your privacy.

They just asked a few people if they thought it was written by an LLM. /s

I mean, you can tell when something is written from ChatGPT, especially if the person isn’t using it for editing, but is just asking it to write a complaint or request. It is likely they are only counting the most obvious, so the actual count is higher.
