What local AI can actually do in mid-2026
A vendor-free status report on on-device AI as of mid-2026: segmentation, transcription, and small language models are genuinely local now; frontier reasoning and video generation are not, and the reasons are physics, not politics.

- Small LLMs: useful, with a hard ceiling
- The dividing line is memory, not model quality

- One canonical URL absorbs all the credit

Static search vs hosted search: which does a small site actually need?
The real trade-offs between shipping a prebuilt search index to the browser and paying a hosted service to answer queries — sized with actual numbers from a 300-plus-page site.

- Hosted relevance earns its fee later
