6 settings I always change before running a local LLM
Most local LLM advice spends about 90% of its time on which model to download and almost none on what to do once it's loaded. You just pick a model and a quant, and off you go. It seems a lot of people leave the settings and parameters alone unless something's wrong, which is a shame because half the complaints about local models being slow or weird aren't really the model; they're the settings. And that's a much easier problem to solve than swapping to a different model entirely.
