Open Source Tooling to Run Large Language Models Without GPUs Locally

Docker Model Runner now allows developers to run large language models locally using Docker Desktop. The tool packages inference engines into Docker containers, enabling easy deployment and GPU acceleration on Apple silicon chips. Users can pull and run models via command line or a web interface, with models available in the Docker AI repository. This integration with Docker's ecosystem simplifies model deployment and management, potentially streamlining the transition from local development to cloud-based production environments using Kubernetes.
