The best open weight LLMs don't run on this computer, or almost any consumer grade computer. Even the memory requirement for Gemma 4 is out of reach for most consumers (by which I mean those who are not on HN). Unless there is some magic that would make high quality LLMs consume no more than 8GB RAM which makes them usable on a 16GB laptop (which is the norm these days), "local LLM for personal computing" is mostly just a myth.
