LLmFit: One-Command Hardware-Aware Model Selection Across 497 Models and 133 Providers

LLmFit addresses a fundamental pain point in local LLM deployment: determining which models can actually run on specific hardware. The tool automatically profiles RAM, CPU, and GPU capabilities, then scores 497 models across 133 providers using quality, speed, and resource-fit metrics to recommend appropriate candidates.

This solves a real deployment workflow problem. Instead of manually researching model memory requirements, comparing specifications, and iteratively testing, practitioners can run a single command and receive validated recommendations tailored to their exact hardware. The scoring system balances multiple competing objectives—a model might be theoretically runnable but unacceptably slow, or high-quality but memory-starved.

For newcomers and experienced practitioners alike, this tool reduces friction in the model selection process and helps prevent wasteful experimentation on incompatible model-hardware combinations.
