Quantization rewrites a model's weights in lower precision while leaving its architecture, tokenizer, and parameter count intact. The memory savings are predictable; the quality cost is not,…
Choosing a local AI model is a hardware-fit problem before it is a model-quality problem. Define the job, find your real memory budget, estimate weights plus KV…
Ollama installs with a single command on macOS, Linux, and Windows, and a first local model can be running within minutes. This guide covers prerequisites, installation per…
When you run a local LLM, VRAM is where inference happens on the GPU, while system RAM provides capacity for loading models, CPU inference, and offloading. Both…
Ollama listens on 127.0.0.1:11434 by default, so nothing outside the host machine can reach it. Making it available to a phone, laptop, or second PC means changing…
