Suggested learning path
- Get Ollama running with a small model today (Tutorial 1).
- Once comfortable, build llama.cpp from source and try manual quantization (Tutorial 2) to see what Ollama was hiding from you.
- If you need Python-level control, move to
transformers(Tutorial 3). - If you're serving more than one user, move to vLLM (Tutorial 4).
- Build something — even a small CLI tool using the streaming client in Tutorial 5 — that's how the concepts actually stick.
