Guide

Local AI Glossary

Plain-English definitions for model size, quantization, context, VRAM, RAG, and local-first workflows.

Verdict

Glossary route; definitions need source review before stronger claims are added.

This guide is deliberately conservative. Exact install screens, current app behavior, and provider settings must be checked against official sources before stronger claims are added.

Beginner-safe reading path

  • - Start with the glossary if model size, quantization, context, RAM, or VRAM are unfamiliar.
  • - Use the RAM/VRAM calculator before downloading a large model.
  • - Treat privacy as a workflow property: model calls, files, embeddings, sync, and plugins all matter.
  • - Stop and check official docs when an installer, model catalog, or setting name differs from this page.
