Local AI Setup Guides
Run AI models on your own machine. 20 model-and-runtime setup guides across 2 runtimes, with hardware requirements and performance notes.
Running large language models locally keeps your prompts and data on your own hardware, with no per-token API cost and no third party reading your inputs. The trade-off is setup: each model has different memory needs, and each runtime behaves differently across macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Each guide below covers a specific model and runtime combination, including the hardware you need and what performance to expect. Pick a runtime to find the right setup for your machine.
