DeepSeek AI was a wake-up call for many who assumed the “Giant Data Centre” and “Trillions in Hardware” requirement for AI was true.

If you are an IT person, you’ll soon get to know how to setup video cards in your data centre to support AI. You’ll have the fastest storage locally. You’ll setup your own data models against your own data. You’ll be the king of your data. And your users will love you. Free yourself from the thinking that only big companies can run AI, and try it yourself.
