AirLLM enables 70-billion parameter language models to run on a single 4GB GPU without quantization or pruning.

By streaming sparse Mixture-of-Experts models one expert at a time, the framework allows even 2.8-trillion parameter models to operate on under 4GB of VRAM, significantly lowering hardware barriers for local inference and edge deployment.
