Hands-On Implementation

Local LLM architecture concepts


In production, use: llama-cpp-python, vLLM, or Ollama
from dataclasses import dataclass
@dataclass
class ModelConfig:
    name: str
    parameters: str
    quantization: str
    context_length: int
    memory_gb: float
Common local LLM configurations

models = [
    ModelConfig("Llama-3-8B", "8B", "Q4_K_M", 8192, 4.5),
    ModelConfig("Mistral-7B", "7B", "Q5_K_M", 32768, 5.1),
    ModelConfig("Phi-3-mini", "3.8B", "Q4_0", 4096, 2.2),
    ModelConfig("Gemma-2B", "2B", "F16", 8192, 4.0),
]
print("Local LLM Options:")
print(f"{'Model':<20} {'Params':<8} {'Quant':<10} {'Context':<8} {'RAM':<6}")
print("-" * 52)
for m in models:
    print(f"{m.name:<20} {m.parameters:<8} {m.quantization:<10} {m.context_length:<8} {m.memory_gb:<6.1f}GB")
Estimate if model fits in memory

available_ram = 16  # GB
suitable = [m for m in models if m.memory_gb < available_ram * 0.7]
print(f"\nSuitable for {available_ram}GB RAM: {[m.name for m in suitable]}")
