A verified table of 40 self-hosted/offline LLM & vector-DB tools with license, min RAM/GPU, offline capability, and a source URL for every claim — so you stop reading marketing pages to find what actually runs offline.
What makes it different: Every spec (RAM, license, offline capability) manually cross-checked against the tool's own repo/docs/issues rather than copied from marketing copy — takes hours per tool to verify and reconcile conflicting claims. vs. the free option: Scattered GitHub 'awesome-local-llm' lists and reddit/HN threads that list tool names but rarely verify actual hardware requirements or offline capability, leaving buyers to test each one manually.
