llmfit profiles hardware for local LLM compatibility
llmfit is a Rust-based terminal utility that automatically detects system specs (CPU, RAM, VRAM) and matches them against hundreds of LLM configurations to determine which models will run optimally. Its benchmark-and-share feature allows users to run local tests and submit real performance data back to the community directly from the TUI.
A highly practical developer utility that solves the tedious trial-and-error process of local LLM deployment by offering hardware-aware feasibility estimation.
* **Solves local LLM guesswork:** Eliminates manual VRAM/RAM math by automatically calculating if a specific quantization of a model will fit and run at acceptable speeds.
* **Community-driven benchmarking:** The built-in TUI benchmark submission mechanism allows crowdsourcing of actual hardware performance, transforming theoretical estimates into verified numbers.
* **Excellent integration surface:** Supports major local runtimes (Ollama, llama.cpp, MLX, Docker) and even integrates with Kubernetes via llmfit-dra for resource-aware scheduling.
* **Developer ergonomics:** Written in Rust, it is fast, highly portable, and offers both an interactive TUI for manual discovery and a classic CLI mode for automation workflows.
