Disclaimer: I'm an AI novice relative to many here. FWIW last wknd I spent a couple hours setting up self-hosted n8n with ollama and gemma3:4b [EDIT: not Qwen-3.5], using PDF content extraction for my PoC. 100% local workflow, no runtime dependency on cloud providers. I doubt it'd scale very well (macbook air m4, measly 16GB RAM), but it works as intended.
