I am calling it the Librarian, after Neal Stephenson&rsquo;s AI agent from his novel &ldquo;Snow Crash&rdquo;. But where to actually begin?</p> <p>Well, first off, the Librarian needs a brain. Every query I send it, every research task, every intelligence synthesis — all of that reasoning has to happen somewhere. That somewhere is a Mac Mini M4 sitting on a shelf in my server rack, running completely headless, accessible only over SSH, serving local AI inference to the rest of my homelab stack.</p>
