Why it matters

Useful for AI engineers, researchers, and local-AI tinkerers who want to run 70B or 405B-class LLMs in inference on a single consumer GPU (4GB for 70B, 8GB for 405B Llama 3.1) without quantization, distillation, or pruning, because AirLLM lyogavin/airllm ships a layer-streaming scheduler that loads one transformer layer at a time and overlaps layer prefetch with compute, which means a developer
