Local Inference
Running large language models (LLMs) directly on user-owned hardware enables privacy, offline capabilities, and reduced latency. Key techniques include quantization (e.g., GGUF formats) and efficient deployment on consumer-grade GPUs.
Quantization and Hardware Efficiency
Efficient local inference relies heavily on model compression to fit within limited VRAM constraints while maintaining performance.
