AirLLM is a tool that lets you run very large AI models on computers with limited memory by using a smart layer-by-layer loading technique instead of traditional compression methods. You can run a 70-billion-parameter model on just 4GB of GPU memory, or even a 405-billion-parameter model on 8GB, without losing model quality. The benefit is that you can use powerful AI models on affordable hardware without expensive upgrades, and the tool also offers optional compression features that can speed up performance by up to 3 times while maintaining accuracy.

A couple of years ago, when I was working on my Raspberry Pi 5, I noticed that it was very slow. I googled possible reasons, and the main one was its lack of RAM. It has 4 gigs of RAM, but I noticed that running multiple Chromium tabs made it run at a snail's pace. So, I looked for ways to increase the RAM. Given that I was using an SD Card as a hard drive, using a swap file wasn't really an option. However, I found a program called ZRAM and...
