AirLLM is an open-source inference approach that claims it can run a 70-billion-parameter language model on a single 4GB GPU by loading model layers on demand. The project drew attention on Hacker News because it lowers hardware requirements for large-model inference, though practical performance and tradeoffs depend on the implementation.
