Key Concepts & Glossary: Open Source 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.
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.
Model Context Protocol
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open-source standard created by Anthropic that enables AI applications and agents to connect securely to local or remote data sources, developer tools, and API services via a standardized protocol.
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.
