Is it true that large language models can run on consumer laptops?
Unclear. Several peer-reviewed and reference sources indicate that quantized or small language models can run on consumer-grade hardware, including one demonstration of a 7-billion-parameter model on consumer laptops. None establishes the general claim that large language models as such run on consumer laptops; the sources cover narrower cases.
