Key Concepts & Glossary: Meta AI Intelligence
Local LLM Runtime
A Local LLM Runtime is an execution engine (such as Ollama, llama.cpp, or LM Studio) engineered to run quantized open-weights language models locally on consumer hardware without sending data to cloud APIs.
Foundation Model
A Foundation Model is a large-scale AI model trained on massive, broad datasets (typically through self-supervised learning) that serves as the baseline starting point for multiple downstream tasks. Examples include GPT-4, LLaMA, and stable diffusion models.
LLaMA
LLaMA (Large Language Model Meta AI) is a family of state-of-the-art open-weights foundation models released by Meta. LLaMA catalyzed the open-source AI developer ecosystem by offering models that could run locally with high efficiency.
PyTorch
PyTorch is the dominant open-source machine learning framework developed by Meta AI research, widely used for building, training, and deploying deep learning models.
