Opening (first 30 seconds)
Five names keep coming up when people run AI on their own computer. llama.cpp, Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, and Lemonade Server. Four of them share one motor, one is not built for you at all. Three words first. A model is one file, 4 to 30 GB in the GGuf format. Quantization squeezes it down, so a model that needed 40 GB fits in 12 for a small quality cost. And graphics card memory is the ceiling. If the file fits there, answers come fast. If not, the rest spills into system memory and everything crawls. llama.cpp is the

Five names keep coming up when people run AI on their own computer. llama.cpp, Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, and Lemonade Server. Four of them share one motor, one is not built for you at all. Three words first. A model is one file, 4 to 30 GB in the GGuf format. Quantization squeezes it down, so a model that needed 40 GB fits in 12 for a small quality cost. And graphics card memory is the ceiling. If the file fits there, answers come fast.
If not, the rest spills into system memory and everything crawls. llama.cpp is the engine, a C++ program that reads the model file and does the math on your processor, your graphics card, or both. It runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, even a phone. Almost every friendly app here calls it underneath, and those GGuf files you keep downloading are its format. Ollama is that engine behind one command. You type Ollama run and a model name.
It downloads the file, loads it, and drops you into a chat, leaving a server on port 11434 that your editor and your scripts can call. The price is control. You get the defaults until you go digging. LM Studio is the same engine with a desktop app around it. You browse models inside the app, and it flags which ones fit your machine before you pull 12 GB you cannot run. The server tab speaks the same API as Ollama, and the console shows your tokens per second.
Free at home and at work now, and closed source, unlike everything else here. vLLM came out of Berkeley. It wants Linux and data center graphics cards and answers many people at once. Its trick is paged attention, many conversations packed into the same card memory instead of a reserved block each. On one laptop for one person, it buys you nothing. Lemonade Server is AMD's answer. Same shape as Ollama, but it routes the work to whichever chip on that machine is fastest.
The processor, the built-in graphics, or the NPU in Ryzen AI laptops that most tools ignore. Open source, same API. It runs on Nvidia and Intel, too. Four things go wrong whichever you pick. A model too big for your card still runs, just painfully slowly. A tiny model is immense more. Everyone pulls gigabytes per model and none of them ship a password. So check what the port is bound to. Start with LM Studio to see what your machine can handle.
Move to a llama once your scripts needed. Use it for a Ryzen AI laptop and lemonade wins instead. Skip VLLM until a second person needs your model. Which one is running on your machine right now? Drop the name, nothing else.
