9. Hosted APIs vs. Open Source LLMs: Choosing Your RAGOps Strategy

In this video, we cover: 1. Hosted APIs (OpenAI/Gemini): Why they are the fastest way to prototype and how they handle the "heavy lifting" of GPU management. 2. Self-Hosting Open Source: The benefits of full control, data privacy, and customization. 3. vLLM & Paged Attention: How to achieve high-performance inference and maximize GPU memory efficiency. 4. Ollama & CPU Inference: How to run modern LLMs locally on your machine without needing expensive GPUs. 5. Quantization Explained: How reducing model precision allows you to run powerful models on smaller hardware. 6. A Sneak Peek at our Proj…
