AI Lab Cost Optimization: From Expensive Cloud Spend to Local-First Runtime

A local-first runtime replaced expensive always-on cloud inference.

Before: daily cloud inference cost was too high for a small lab workflow.

After: external APIs became fallback instead of the default path.

Result: daily operating cost dropped close to zero.
