Local LLM solutions like Ollama offer significant advantages in data privacy and cost savings, making them appealing for developers. However, users often encounter performance issues that fall short of expectations. These discrepancies typically arise from hardware limitations, model selection, and the complexity of managing context windows, rather than a single cause. Real-world performance is heavily influenced by the user's hardware, especially the difference between CPU and GPU processing, and technical details like model size and quantization, which are often overlooked in favor of general model reviews.
