Video Description

What is Docker Model Runner and why should you care? Docker’s new Model Runner makes it easy to run and develop with AI models, no messy dependencies or complicated setup. In this video, I’ll walk you through everything from getting started in the CLI, using it with Docker Compose, and developing locally with my open-source Next.js app techno-boto-chat.
