llmfit

You download a 15GB model file, wait 45 minutes, fire up your local runtime, and instantly hit an out-of-memory crash. We've all been there. Running local language models gives you total privacy and zero API costs, but figuring out if your machine can handle GGUF, MLX, or CUDA quants is usually a nightmare of trial and error. That's where llmfit comes in. Built in Rust for sheer speed, this open-source utility scans your exact system specs, matches them against hundreds of models, and tells you what will actually run on your machine before you waste time downloading anything. In this video, we break down how llmfit works under the hood, why Rust makes it lightning fast, and how to use it to clean up your local dev setup today.
