Follow this category by RSSA cloud service, a container of your own or a local AI model: there is often more than one way to get something done. Here I look at how these options work, what they cost and what it takes to run them.
Topics include containers, serverless, AI APIs, local language models, RAG and automation. I explain the building blocks and their limits to help you assess an idea and plan your next steps.
