I Built a 12MB Desktop App for Running Uncensored AI Models Locally (Tauri + Rust + Ollama) published: true description: How I built Cerberus AI — a local-first desktop app that auto-detects your GPU, pulls the right model quantization, and gives you uncensored AI chat without sending a single prompt to the cloud. Every major language model ships with an alignment layer that refuses certain prompts. Sometimes that's reasonable. Sometimes you're a security researcher, a creative writer, or just someone who doesn't want a corporation deciding what questions you're allowed to ask.
