local-llm

Deploying large language models on local hardware has shifted from a hobbyist experiment to a practical production option. This tag tracks open-weight model releases, inference runtimes, and hardware benchmarks that define what is achievable on consumer or on-premises infrastructure. Coverage includes quantization methods, memory and throughput tradeoffs, and the strategic case for AI ownership over relying on external cloud providers.
