๐งช AI Lab: Running Local LLMs for Healthcare Privacy
๐ Why Local AI?
In healthcare, patient data privacy is non-negotiable. Sending sensitive medical data to cloud APIs (like OpenAI) poses significant HIPAA and compliance risks. The solution is running intelligent agents locally.
๐ป The Optimization Challenge
I focus on deploying highly capable AI orchestration frameworks directly on consumer-grade hardware (16GB RAM, CPU-focused environments without dedicated GPUs).
โ๏ธ Current Experiments & Stack
- Orchestration: LangGraph, CrewAI, and PydanticAI.
- Models Tested: Qwen and Llama architectures.
- Tools: Ollama, OpenClaw Ecosystem, and ChromaDB for vector storage.
Insights: Successfully configuring an API gateway and RAG system on this hardware demonstrates that robust, privacy-first medical AI systems are viable without massive cloud infrastructure costs.
