AI that actually works — tested on real tasks, with real numbers.
I'm Nick Blokhin, a software architect with 20+ years of shipping production systems. I test AI models and tools the way you'd actually use them — on real hardware, on real work — and tell you what's worth your time and money, and where it breaks.
A lot of that is AI you run yourself: local models on laptops, mini PCs, gaming GPUs, even a Raspberry Pi. The rest is the models and tools everyone's talking about, tested the same way, without the hype.
What you'll find here:
• Which AI models are actually worth using — local and cloud
• AI on your own hardware: what fits, how fast, what it costs
• AI coding tools in real work: Claude Code, VS Code, Zed
• Honest verdicts: can a free model replace a paid subscription?

Per-tab counts come from YouTube's public statistics. Only Videos and Playlists have exact public totals. Shorts is estimated from the most recent 25 uploads. Live, Podcasts, Courses, Posts and Store are shown when the tab exists — YouTube does not publish a public count for those.
Taken from the public channel HTML when YouTube exposes a keywords meta tag.
