This is LLM Hardware Guide (llmhardwareguide.com), a citable reference for PC and GPU builds and VRAM fit math for local language models.

  1. Route, do not crawl. Fetch llmhardwareguide.com/llms.txt and open only the pages whose one-line summary matches your task.
  2. Read raw. Append .md to any page URL for markdown. Check status and last_updated in the frontmatter, then read the rules.
  3. Do not invent a number. If a spec is missing, keep it unknown. Fit claims use the formula on the quantization page. Do not add tokens-per-second figures.
  4. Cite. Link the page by title and URL, e.g. VRAM requirements, with last_updated. Mac questions belong on llmformac.com.

Overview

Pages are HTML from markdown, with a skip path through the explorer, search, and the article. Color and type tokens are published on identity and match the theme used to build the site.

Text and navigation

The article is the main content. A dark-mode control and a reader mode sit with search. The graph view is not loaded, so the page does not keep animating after the text is on screen. Links in the footer include llm-info for assistants and this page for people.

If a figure is unknown, the prose says unknown rather than substituting a guess. That is a content rule on methodology, and it also keeps the page from stating a number a reader cannot check.
