In my latest Medium post, I assess the suitability of three LLaMA versions (SLM) for local laptop usage: Gemma, Mistral, and the original LLaMA. I find that Gemma is the most lightweight and efficient option, requiring minimal resources and being suitable for older laptops. Mistral is a close second, offering better performance but still being relatively lightweight. The original LLaMA is the heaviest and most demanding option, requiring significant resources and being best suited for more powerful computers.
