A roundup of tools for running LLMs locally (entries #9 and #10):
- vLLM: a high-throughput, memory-efficient inference and serving engine — the step up when you want to serve a local model to your whole team, with 91.9k GitHub stars.
- Unsloth: a local UI to run and train LLMs, with support for GGUF and MLX model formats.
The post is part of a tool recommendation list aimed at teams deploying or fine-tuning models in local/private environments.
