Why it matters
Practitioners get direct help running local models and shipping a real project the same night, useful signal for what a working session versus a talk actually produces.
The tokenmaxxing angle
The event frames itself around developers tired of waiting for paid API tokens to replenish, and teaches running Ollama and LM Studio locally as a zero-dollar alternative to hosted APIs.
From the organizers
Page names Ollama and LM Studio for local AI and Cloudflare, GitHub Pages, and Google Cloud for zero-cost hosting; hosted by Sheldon McGee with 3 confirmed RSVPs.
