AI, green energy inference

I got this setup working at home, to experiment with and help me to talk with colleagues about potential alternatives to Copilot/OpenAI/Anthropic.

It's using Regolo.ai, a 100% green energy inference provider with zero water waste, based in the EU: https://regolo.ai/the-environmental-impact-of-artificial-intelligence-why-building-a-sustainable-ai-matters/

I'm using their open weight models via OpenCode, which also works inside VS Code.

It doesn't solve all the problems with #AI of course, but it seems preferable to the default Big Tech options. WDYT?
