The AI local playground: in this blog post I show how to configure your W11 machine

to start experimenting with the most common artificial intelligence APIs

using Visual Studio Code, Python, and Jupyter Notebooks.

Starting from a clean Windows 11, the components to install and configure are the following:

18
+
* Windows Subsystem for Linux: It is a compatibility layer for running Linux binary executables natively on Windows 11. WSL allows developers to use a Linux environment, including most command-line tools, utilities, and applications, directly on Windows, without the overhead of a traditional virtual machine or dual-boot setup.
19
+
* Conda Python virtual environment: An environment created using the Conda package manager, which can manage dependencies and packages for Python and other languages.
20
+
>A Python environment is a context in which Python code is executed. It includes the Python interpreter and a set of installed packages and dependencies.
21
+
* Visual Studio Code: Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is a free, open-source code editor developed by Microsoft. It is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

once these components are installed, I will show a pattern to use for experimenting with the following APIs:
