ktransformers Lets You Run Giant Models Locally
alex_verem · x · 2026-07-18
The post highlights that while everyone is talking about Kimi's new model, fewer people noticed **ktransformers**, a repo that actually allows you to run it locally. The author describes it as optimized for ultra-large model inference and fine-tuning, supporting CPU-GPU heterogeneous computing. Everyday users with a decent GPU and standard memory can run giant models on their own hardware instead of relying on vendor APIs, quotas, or servers. The repo has over 17,000 stars and promises same-day support for new model releases.
