Best Practices (2025)
Do:
- Use high-speed RAM: Local LLM speed depends on memory bandwidth.
- Use Quantized Models:
q4_k_mis the sweet spot for speed/quality balance. - Unload:
ollama stopwhen done to free VRAM for games/rendering.
Don't:
- Don't expect GPT-4 level: Smaller local models (8B) are smart but lack deep reasoning.
