Everything I've learned so far about running local LLMs A post about running large language models (LLMs) locally on a computer. It discusses what LLMs are and how to set them up to run on your own machine. The article also covers some of the limitations of LLMs, but highlights their potential for tasks like proofreading and creative writing. Thoughts on Django’s Core Django's longevity is attributed to its stable core, time-based releases, and API stability policy. While there's enthusiasm for expanding Django's features, the author argues that the core should remain focused and prioritize stability.
