noonghunna b07b2f99e7 docs: add LOCAL_AI_PRIMER.md — plain-English on-ramp for newcomers
Conceptual narrative (hardware → engine → model size → quant → templates)
that the doc set lacked: GETTING_STARTED is commands-only, GLOSSARY is
isolated definitions, FAQ is troubleshooting. Cross-linked from README,
GETTING_STARTED, and GLOSSARY. Carries a scope banner (stack is
NVIDIA/3090-tested; other vendors are context, not a support commitment)
and an RTX 3090 FP8 caveat (no FP8 weight compute on Ampere; AWQ/GPTQ
for weights, fp8_e5m2 KV only). Links to PULL.md / KV_MATH.md for the
stack's actual fit-math path.

Getting started — zero to curl in 5 minutes

The fastest path from git clone to serving your first response. No decisions, no menus — just commands.

New to local AI and the terms below feel like jargon? Read LOCAL_AI_PRIMER.md first — how hardware, engines, model sizes, and quants fit together in plain English.

# 1. Clone
git clone https://github.com/noonghunna/club-3090.git
cd club-3090

# 2. Download the model (Qwen3.6-27B, ~18 GB)
bash scripts/setup.sh qwen3.6-27b

# 3. Boot the default config (single-card chat, 48K context)
bash scripts/launch.sh --variant vllm/default

# 4. Test it
curl -sf http://localhost:8020/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"qwen3.6-27b-autoround","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Capital of France?"}],"max_tokens":200}'

If you see Paris in the response, you're up and running.
