Local AI promises privacy and control, but running models at home is not plug-and-play. A hands-on test with a high-memory Mac Studio, an open-source agent, and a 125-billion-parameter model reveals both useful automation and frequent breakdowns. Tasks like daily briefings, Steam library sorting, financial analysis, and benchmark scripting show where local agents shine and where they struggle. The experience is exciting, overwhelming, and frustrating in equal measure.
