A Complete Beginners guide to localllm
localllm is a set of tools and libraries that provides easy access to quantized models from HuggingFace through a command-line utility. It's pretty awesome for developers who want to dive into big language models (LLMs) but don't have a fancy GPU to work with. This whole setup gives you everything you need to get these LLMs running on just your CPU and whatever memory you've got, whether you're on Google Cloud Workstation or just your own computer. So, you don't need to worry about having a top-tier GPU to get into the game. It's all about making the power of LLMs accessible for everyone, wherever you're coding from.
