Lesson 4 — Free path complete.
You installed Ollama, pulled a model, and chatted locally in Lesson 3. This is the capstone: prove offline inference, close out the free tier properly, and get an honest look at what Build Your Jarvis · Module 0 adds — no hard sell.
By the end (~40 minutes)
- Offline proof — Wi‑Fi off, model still answers.
- A clear picture of free vs membership.
- Off the Grid done — all four lessons in the bag.
Before you start
- Required: Lesson 3 checkpoint passed.
- Optional: screenshot your terminal from Lesson 3 — a nice before/after for yourself.
Free Off the Grid was never a teaser — it's a working stack. I still reach for cloud AI now and then. But the day local properly worked, I stopped paying five separate subscriptions just to draft the same email.
Continue — the offline test.
