The Local AI Stack for Productive SLMs
Building a local AI stack can feel daunting, but productive setup doesn’t require reinventing the wheel. Our "Local AI Stack for Productive SLMs" offers a practical framework for selecting the optimal tools across every layer, from model serving to context retrieval. This guide prioritizes efficiency and usability, empowering you to build powerful, locally-run AI applications. For those interested in exploring end-to-end frameworks, see our article on "Millwright — experimenting with an end-to-end machine learning framework in Rust [P]" for a deeper dive.
Millwright — experimenting with an end-to-end machine learning framework in Rust [P]
Millwright is an open-source project exploring a complete machine learning workflow built in Rust, addressing gaps often found when integrating individual ML libraries. This framework streamlines the classical ML lifecycle—ingest, explore, preprocess, and beyond—by providing a common abstraction layer over existing Rust libraries and interoperating with the Python/ONNX ecosystem. Currently featuring capabilities like AutoML and drift monitoring, Millwright aims to provide a valuable execution layer across training, inference, and production.
