Forget ChatGPT: why researchers now run small AIs on their laptops

Histo.fyi is a website showcasing immune-system protein structures in a database created by Chris Thorpe, a bioinformatician using AI tools to summarize data. ChatGPT and scaled-down versions of LLMs are revolutionizing the research field as they become more accessible for researchers to run on their laptops, enhancing their work. Companies like Microsoft and Meta are leading the way with smaller, more efficient models. Privacy and reproducibility concerns are also addressed as local models offer a solution for sensitive data handling. The growing trend of local LLMs in various fields demonstrates the power and potential of AI advancements for personalized applications in science and beyond.
