@anastasia.mooore: Discover how AirLLM lets you run massive 72B parameter AI models on your own MacBook or gaming PC by loading layers from your hard drive and using flash attention to save memory. Perfect for students and indie devs looking to access powerful AI without supercomputers. #AI #MachineLearning #AIDevelopment #OpenSourceAI #llama3

The Way It Actually Works :

Technically true, but very misleading. AirLLM can run a 70B/72B model with very little VRAM by streaming the model layer by layer from storage. That does NOT mean the model fits in your MacBook or gaming PC memory, nor that it runs at normal inference speeds. You may wait many seconds per token. “It runs” and “it’s actually usable” are two very different things.
