“Shock! Shock!” That’s how Professor Donald Knuth—the man who literally wrote the bible of computer science, The Art of Computer Programming—opened his latest paper. He wasn’t reacting to a scandal or a bug. He was reacting to a mathematical breakthrough. Specifically, a breakthrough made by an AI. For weeks, Knuth had been wrestling with an open […]

Read More →DeepSeek, a powerful open-source LLM, can be easily run locally on your desktop/laptop using Ollama. I’m using an M1 MacBook Pro with 32GB. Ollama simplifies the process of running large language models, handling dependencies and providing a consistent interface. This guide will walk you through installing DeepSeek via Ollama, making it accessible with just a […]
