An individual experimented with running a large language model (LLM) locally on an ASUS ROG Ally gaming handheld, discovering significant hardware limitations. The primary challenge was insufficient GPU-accessible memory (UMA frame buffer), which caused the system to default to much slower CPU processing. Increasing the UMA frame buffer in the BIOS proved to be the most effective optimization, highlighting the importance of understanding specific hardware architectures for local LLM deployment. AI
