A broad introduction to open source AI covering what it is, its advantages (cost, privacy, customizability, no vendor lock-in) and disadvantages (hardware requirements, setup complexity), and the current landscape where Chinese models like Qwen dominate downloads. Covers the open source AI stack including model managers like Ollama, agentic frameworks like n8n and LangGraph, and the OpenAI Agents SDK with open source model support. Includes two practical demos: a no-code local financial statement analyzer built with Ollama and n8n, and a Python-based multi-agent email triage system using the OpenAI Agents SDK with Ollama and Qwen 3 8B.
