From Mac Minis to AI Clusters: Learning Distributed Systems For Dummies!

Hey everyone! Over the next few weeks, I’ll be releasing blogs and guides around learning distributed learning and building your own small compute clusters. The goal is simple: help people AI models using the hardware they already have lying around. Old laptops, MacBooks, Mac minis, Jetson Nanos, Raspberry Pis, even phones and tablets. Distributed learning often feels intimidating from the outside, but it’s genuinely one of the coolest areas in systems and AI once you start playing with it yourself. Before we get into the fun stuff like distributed inference and.
