Isn't the expensive part of LLM's the training? My understanding is once they are trained they can often be optimized to run quite cheaply. Not as cheaply as a well designed program but cheaply enough it shouldn't be too prohibitive to run.

I'd love to be shown I'm wrong; but I thought most 'runtime' LLMs required a shit-ton of memory. Just downloading one seems to require more storage than I have on this laptop.
