Run Local Models in Pi via llama.cpp: Qwen3 8B as a Fully Private Coding Agent
Hugging Face · youtube · 2026-09-08
An official Hugging Face tutorial shows how to run local GGUF models in Pi with llama.cpp: install llama.cpp, use HF's hardware compatibility feature to pick the right quantization for your GPU, then download and load the model with Pi's /llama command. The end result is Qwen3 8B running locally as a coding agent — no prompts, code, or data ever leave your machine, with zero per-token cost. The video closes with a discussion of hybrid local/cloud workflows.
