A NEW Way to Run LLMs Locally - Docker Model Runner  @TravisMedia
Uploaded July 2025 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
Docker is quietly making some major moves in the AI space. In this video, I explore Docker Model Runner, a powerful new feature that lets you work with open-source language models right from your Mac, with GPU acceleration and full local control.

No API keys, no cloud latency — just fast, private inference built into the Docker CLI.

I’ll also show you Docker’s growing ecosystem of AI tools, from their new MCP Toolkit (Model Context Protocol) to Gordon, a context-aware AI assistant built into Docker Desktop.

Thank you, Docker, for sponsoring this video!
