New technical guide details local LLM deployment across llama.cpp, MLX, vLLM, and TensorRT-LLM

Story Overview

A fresh online resource spells out how to run large language models on personal hardware instead of cloud services, walking through setups for everything from laptops and edge devices to full multi-GPU clusters while spotlighting Mac-first paths and production serving for long-context or MoE models.
