Running Local LLMs

  • https://lmstudio.ai/
    • Main LLM: https://lmstudio.ai/models/qwen/qwen3-30b-a3b
    • Draft LLM: https://lmstudio.ai/models/qwen/qwen3-1.7b
      • Used for Speculative Decoding — a method that accelerates the text generation process by using a smaller "draft" model to quickly propose tokens, which are then verified by a larger "main" model. This allows the main model to accept only those tokens that align with its own generated output, ensuring quality while significantly reducing inference time. The greater the size difference between the two models, the more pronounced the speed-up, provided both models share the same vocabulary.
