Both Ubuntu and Fedora have made it official: support is coming soon for running local generative AI instances.

An epic and still-growing thread in the Fedora forums states one of the goals for the next version: the Fedora AI Developer Desktop Objective. It is causing some discontent, and at least one Fedora contributor, SUSE’s Fernando Mancera, has resigned.

    Well I’m usually using these models to prettify matlab figures, it’s something that I can do but would take me a while, using an llm it takes a minute or two and gives a good enough result. The llms regression to the mean is also exactly what I want. I want a legible figure. I’d say that the electricity that the llm uses is less than the beefy consumed by me burning food to actually write the thing myself.
