Is it realistic to run something like Llama locally on these machines, or is this still mostly marketing?
Quantized Llama 7B to 13B models run well locally today if you have enough RAM and the right runtime. You will not train large models on a laptop, but for inference, agents and tooling it works. The constraints are memory and model size, not hype.
Good to hear. That matches my experience with smaller quantized models.
