## 🎓 KEY LEARNINGS

### What Worked
1. **Docker container linking** - More reliable than host networking
2. **Testing multiple model sizes** - 7B sweet spot found
3. **Incremental deployment** - Caught issues early
4. **Comprehensive documentation** - Everything recorded

### Challenges Overcome
1. **Networking issues** - Migrated Ollama to Docker, used container linking
2. **Performance concerns** - Found fast 7B model instead of slow 70B
3. **Model availability** - Qwen 72B doesn't exist, used 32B + 7B
4. **Storage location** - Models in /usr/share/ollama/.ollama (66 GB)

### Time Investment
- Infrastructure setup: 2 hours
- Model downloads: 4 hours  
- Networking troubleshooting: 3 hours
- Testing & configuration: 1 hour
- **Total:** 9 hours deployment + documentation

---

## 📊 COST ANALYSIS

**Investment:**
- Development time: 9 hours
- Server resources: Already paid for (TX1)
- Software: $0 (open source)
- **Total cash cost: $0**

**Ongoing:**
- Monthly: $0 (no API fees)
- Savings vs Claude API: $30-50/month ($360-600/year)
- Savings vs SaaS AI: $50-200/month ($600-2,400/year)

**ROI:** Infinite (free forever)
