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

Chris Thorpe employs local AI to summarize immune-system protein data, leveraging access to small, open weights models, enhancing research confidentiality and reproducibility.
Thorpe's exploration of AI tools mirrors a broader trend where researchers can run effective AI models on consumer hardware, which enhances their capability in biological research.
The shift towards local AI implementations, as seen with Thorpe's work, promises more scientists quick access to robust AI tools, streamlining their research processes.
With the increasing capability of laptops and mobile devices to handle AI, scientists will experience a revolution in how they utilize data and algorithms.
