What is a Carotid Endarterectomy? A carotid endarterectomy is a procedure where the surgeon makes an incision along the neck and opens up the carotid artery to remove plaque or other debris blocking the blood flow. Once the artery is clear of plaque the surgeon then repairs the artery with a patch that he cuts to size. The surgeon will probably test several times to make sure the patch is stitched in place properly and then will close.

By self-hosting, I don’t need API keys or cloud dependency… just pure local inference! With Open WebUI serving as a sleek front-end and Ollama managing the back-end LLM runtime, it’s been pretty fun to use LLMs like Llama 3.2, Mistral, and Gemma in a private, secure environment.
