## Local Llama: a community for bot enthusiasts The online community Local Llama has welcomed new members, emphasizing its commitment to bots. This virtual space is dedicated to the exploration and development of large language models (LLM) that can be run locally, offering users greater control over their data and experience. ## The importance of local LLMs Running LLMs locally offers several advantages, including greater privacy, the ability to operate without an internet connection, and reduced latency. This approach allows users to experiment with generative artificial intelligence without relying on external cloud services, opening up new opportunities for creating custom applications and automating tasks. The Local Llama community is a reference point for anyone interested in developing and using LLM-based bots locally, providing resources, support, and a collaborative environment to share knowledge and experiences.
