Run massive AI models locally

Colibri is a C-based engine that enables running large-scale Mixture of Experts (MoE) models on local computers with low hardware requirements. By streaming expert layers from the disk, it makes it possible to run high-capacity AI models on limited hardware.

Updates

  • September 11, 2026: Stars 27,608 → 27,610, latest release v1.10.2 (September 6, 2026).

What you get

  • Runs high-capacity models on limited hardware
  • Manages VRAM, RAM, and disk memory as a single layer
  • Provides efficiency by streaming expert layers

I want to run large-scale AI models on my local computer using the Colibri engine. Configure it to use my hardware resources (VRAM, RAM, and NVMe disk) in the most efficient way possible. Explain step-by-step how I can optimize and run models like GLM or DeepSeek according to my system's memory capacity.
