About
Tech-kutak is an independent blog about AI, local large language models, and practical technology. I write about what I'm learning building with LLMs - the tools, the techniques, and the real-world applications.
Why This Blog Exists
I started Tech-kutak in March 2026 because everything about AI was moving fast. New models, new tools, new capabilities every week. I needed a place to document what works - and share it with others on the same journey.
What you're reading isn't theoretical. Everything here comes from actual hands-on experience running models locally, building AI-powered workflows, and testing approaches in my home lab.
What I Cover
- Local LLM Setup - Getting models running on your own hardware
- AI Coding Assistants - Prompt engineering, agents, automation
- Model Comparisons - Real benchmarks, not marketing claims
- Practical Tutorials - Step-by-step guides that work
- Industry Trends - What's actually shipping, not vaporware
Who This Is For
- Developers exploring local AI
- Engineers building AI-powered applications
- Tech enthusiasts curious about LLMs
- Anyone wanting to understand what's possible today
If you're looking for fluff or clickbait, this isn't the site. I write what I'd want to read.
The Stack
This site runs on:
- Ghost (self-hosted)
- Proxmox for infrastructure
- Ollama/lm Studio for local inference
