How do I set up n8n with Ollama for local AI drafting?

Install n8n natively, grab Ollama, load Mistral. Wire HTTP nodes to Ollama's endpoint, use Code nodes for parsing with separators. Trigger via manual execute, post to WordPress REST.

Does Ollama Mistral work on GTX 1660?

Absolutely — 4.4GB model fits 6GB VRAM perfectly. Avoid larger like phi4; they spill and crawl.

Can this local pipeline replace cloud AI for blogs?

For drafts and metadata, yes — zero cost. Humans handle final edits. Swap to cloud easily when scaling.
