llmfit¶
What it is¶
llmfit is a hardware-to-model fit utility that helps you determine which models and providers are realistic for your machine.
What problem it solves¶
It prevents wasted time trying to run models that do not fit your hardware or performance requirements.
Where it fits in the stack¶
Development & Ops / Model Selection Utility. It is a planning tool for local AI deployment decisions.
Typical use cases¶
- Choosing models for local inference
- Comparing what can run on different hardware profiles
- Deciding whether to use LocalAI, Ollama, or a cloud provider
Strengths¶
- Fast hardware reality check
- Useful before investing in local inference setup
Limitations¶
- It helps with feasibility, not workload design
- It does not choose the right workflow architecture for you
When to use it¶
- Before standing up local model infrastructure
When not to use it¶
- When you already know you will use hosted frontier APIs
