  The simplest way to run LLaMA on your local machine

I agree, I've definitely seen way more information about running image synthesis models like Stable Diffusion locally than I have LLMs. It's counterintuitive to me that Stable Diffusion takes less RAM than an LLM, especially considering it still needs the word vectors. Goes to show I know nothing.

I guess it comes down to the requirement of a very high end (or multiple) GPU that makes it impractical for most vs just running it in Colab or something.

Tho there are some efforts:
