Hi everyone, I'm trying to set up a local LLM environment and would like some advice on what models and tools would run well on my hardware. Hardware: Laptop: Dell Precision 5680 RAM: 32 GB GPU: NVIDIA RTX A1000 (6 GB VRAM) Integrated GPU: Intel (shows ~16 GB VRAM in Task Manager) Total GPU memory reported: ~21.8 GB I understand that I may not be able to run large models, but wanted to try what can I do with a simple workflow. My typical use cases: Basic python workflow, data analysis, dataframe manipulation, plotting and reporting.
