In this era of AI explosion, I’ve been thinking: How can I build a digital base that I truly own, with complete “Digital Sovereignty”?

Today, this blog is officially live. What’s even more interesting is that the post you are reading might have been assisted by a local AI model running on my MacBook.

The Tech Stack

To achieve automation and zero-cost deployment, I chose the following combination:

  1. Core Engine (Hugo): The world’s fastest static site generator, paired with the PaperMod theme for minimalism and speed.
  2. Global Distribution (Vercel): No servers required. Code pushed to GitHub is automatically built and distributed via a global CDN.
  3. Silicon Employees (Ollama + Python):
    • Writing: Using Microsoft’s Phi-3 model for inspiration and drafting.
    • Translating: Using Alibaba’s Qwen 2.5 model for automatic Chinese-to-English translation.
    • Orchestration: Custom Python scripts to stitch it all together.

Why Do This?

I want to validate a new workflow: Humans provide the Creativity (Prompt), AI handles the Execution (Writing/Translating), and Code manages the Delivery (Deployment).

This isn’t just about blogging; it’s about establishing an AI playground where I can experiment freely. In the future, I will share more about AI automation, cloud-native development, and my explorations in the digital world.

Stay tuned.
