Setup Guides & Tutorials

113 step-by-step guides covering first-time setup, hardware, quantisation, fine-tuning, RAG and agents, self-hosting, coding agents, and troubleshooting.

Getting Started (13)

Install something, run your first model, and use it for real work.

Hardware & VRAM (15)

What to buy, what fits in the memory you have, and what it costs to run.

Models & Quantisation (7)

Choosing quants, understanding context windows, and converting weights.

Fine-Tuning & Datasets (4)

Teaching a model your task — when it beats prompting, and on what data.

RAG & Agents (7)

Giving a model your documents, your tools, and the run of a task. Dedicated coding agents have their own hub below.

Enterprise & Privacy (7)

Self-hosting, serving at scale, and the case for keeping data on your own machines.

Coding Agents (22)

Running Aider, Cline and Continue against a local model, and the hardware it takes.

Troubleshooting (37)

Paste the error you are seeing. Grouped by operating system, because that is what decides the fix.
