Summary

llmfit is a terminal tool that helps users find which large language models (LLMs) will run effectively on their specific hardware. The tool automatically detects system specifications (RAM, CPU, GPU), evaluates hundreds of models across multiple dimensions including quality, speed, fit, and context length, and provides recommendations for optimal model selection. It supports various local runtime providers like Ollama, llama.cpp, MLX, Docker Model Runner, and LM Studio, and offers both interactive TUI and classic CLI interfaces.
