Local LLM Deployment
The practice of running large language model inference on local hardware—such as personal computers or on-premises servers—without relying on cloud-based APIs. This approach offers advantages in data privacy and offline availability, and is typically implemented using inference frameworks such as llama.cpp or vLLM.

Out of considerations for data security, compliance, and cost control, enterprises are increasingly inclined to deploy large models on their own servers or private clouds, rather than relying entirely on APIs from vendors such as OpenAI and Anthropic.
When evaluating VRAM requirements for local deployment, one should first clarify the target precision and target context length, then work backwards to determine the required VRAM, rather than looking only at parameter count.
