  • Probably better to ask on [email protected]. Ollama should be able to give you a decent LLM, and RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) will let it reference your dataset.

    The only issue is that you asked for a smart model, which usually means a larger one, plus the RAG portion consumes even more memory, which may be more than a typical laptop can handle. Smaller models have a higher tendency to hallucinate - produce incorrect answers.

    Short answer - yes, you can do it. It’s just a matter of how much RAM you have available and how long you’re willing to wait for an answer.

    AMD APUs have Video Coding Engine / Unified Video Decoder, while Intel CPUs have QuickSync. FFMPEG’s hardware page says that AMD support is incomplete.

    You may want to ask over in [email protected] . This topic often came up back on Reddit, and the general vibe I got was that most people prefer QuickSync. Intel may not be great in a lot of areas, but they are a beast in video encoding/decoding. That being said, I use a Ryzen APU and it’s perfectly fine. There are way more important things to look at when choosing a CPU.

    If your performance is slow, I would check your CPU is listed on the chart I linked above. Not all CPUs support all codecs.

    Edit: If your CPU doesn’t support the codec, it will still work, it just won’t be accelerated.
