You can pick something that fits your GPU size. Works well on apple silicon too. My fav's now are qwen3 series. Prolly best performance for local single gpu

Will work on CPU/RAM but slower

If you got Linux, I would put into a docker container. Might too much for the first try. There easier options I think.

Ollama is apparently going for lock-in and incompatibility. They're forking llama.cpp for some reason, too. I'd use GPT4All or llama.cpp directly. They support Vulkan, too, so your GPU will just work.

Hm, I’ll see if my laptop can handle it. Probably do t have the patience or processing power

I use oobabooga, little bit more options in the gguf space then ollama but not as easy to use imo. Does support openAI api connection though so can plug in other services to use it.
