Q
What is a Local LLM?
A Local LLM operates natively on your hardware, ensuring your sensitive data stays private. It eliminates cloud latency, removes monthly costs, and gives you total control to customize the AI for your specific needs.
Q
How much RAM do I need to run a Local LLM?
For standard 8B models (like Llama 3.1), you need 6-8GB VRAM. Mid-range 14B models (like Qwen3) require 10-12GB. High-performance 32B models demand 24GB VRAM, while workstation-class 70B models need 46GB+ or dual-GPU setups.
Q
What are the best Local LLM models for beginners?
Start with Llama 3.1 8B if you have 8GB VRAM—it's the new standard. For 12GB+ cards, upgrade to Qwen 3 14B or Mistral Nemo for smarter responses. Low-power laptops runs Llama 3.2 3B well. For enthusiasts on edge devices, lightweight models like Qwen3 (0.6B-4B) and Gemma 3 (270M-4B) are the perfect starting point.
