Running a local language model is mostly a memory-planning problem. This guide explains how parameter count, quantization, VRAM, RAM, context length, and runtime overhead determine whether a…
Large language models are next-token predictors, and almost every practical constraint they have follows from four ideas: how text becomes tokens, how the context window limits what…
Start with retrieval augmented generation (RAG) when your project must answer questions from documents that change and cite sources. Choose fine-tuning when the model needs to match…
