Доказательства
The whole thing runs on Gemma 3 via Ollama, on your laptop. Nothing leaves your machine.
The restaurant owner I showed this to was paying ₹2,000/month (~$24) for translation. MenuMaestro's running cost after setup: $0/month.
I tested GPT-4o, Claude 3.5, and Gemma 3 on the same 10 Rajasthani dishes.
