Run AI without Internet -Deepseek Locally

https://ollama.com/download

We ran a workshop at Dinalab about how to run your own “open” AI model locally on your own laptop! This means no paying more billionaires lots more money and no giving away your private info to them! There’s an added bonus that deepseek is supposed to be a LOT more efficient, and thus uses less energy to process prompts!

Follow these instructions below to run your own deepseek locally!

ollama run deepseek-r1

or you can download other specific models with this syntax

ollama run deepseek-r1:1.5b

make sure python is installed on your computer so you can use pip:

https://www.python.org/downloads/

pip install open-webui

open-webui usually takes many minutes to install, but afterwards, just run:

open-webui serve

now go to this in your browser:

http://localhost:8080/

create username and password

you are in!

You can download Visual Studio Code to help code and run python scripts too if you want!

Serena Joury

My name is Serena, and I’m the most recent addition to the Dinalab team of resident researchers! I’m a Palestinian Jordanian student at Drexel University (USA), and I’m incredibly lucky to be able to incorporate a three-month internship at the Dinalab for part of my undergraduate degree.

I’m looking forward to working with the Dinalab on interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research in environmental science. My investigations primarily address the questions:

How can we empower students with the broad knowledge types needed to tackle complex sustainability issues? How do we teach and conduct environmental science when issues of rapid environmental degradation are intimately intertwined with social injustice, political disruption, and financial inequities?

This lab’s maker space in the rainforest is the ideal place for naturalists to diversify the lenses and skillsets used to approach environmental issues. For instance, I have been learning a lot about coding and Arduinos as tools for bringing humans closer to nature, and I look forward to seeing how these new skills inform my projects on science communication in the future.

Follow along to read about my reflections and process revelations in the jungle!
