Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. You do not need a data center, a research lab, or an enterprise budget to run useful AI on your own infrastructure.Self-Hosting Open-Source LLMs for Beginners is a practical guide to building a private AI stack that actually works on real-world hardware. Instead of treating self-hosting like a giant infrastructure project, this book walks through a clear path: run a local model, serve it through an API, connect it to a chat interface, add your own documents with retrieval, and shape the workflow into something you will actually use.The focus is not on hype. It is on building a system you understand.Inside, you will learn how to choose a realistic setup for your budget and goals, what model size and quantization mean in practice, how to use tools such as Ollama and Open WebUI, how retrieval-augmented generation works with private files, and how to improve reliability through better prompting, guardrails, and workflow design. You will also learn where lightweight customization fits, what "private" actually requires, and how to keep a local AI system stable over time.This book is written for solo builders, homelab users, curious developers, and anyone who wants more control over their AI workflows without getting buried in theory. By the end, you will have a working blueprint for a private document-aware assistant and a much clearer understanding of how local AI systems fit together.If you want to move beyond browser demos and hosted black boxes, this book will help you build something real. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
