Suggested learning path

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