Editorial Policy

Our mission

LocalLLMGear helps people choose the right hardware to run AI locally — with hands-on, independent guidance instead of spec-sheet copying.

How we test and research

Our recommendations are based on real, documented testing and current market data. We compare options on the criteria that actually matter for AI workloads — VRAM, real-world speed, value, and reliability.

How we use AI

We use AI tools to help with research and drafting. Every article is reviewed and edited by a human before publishing, and the final editorial judgement is human. We do not publish unreviewed machine output.

Accuracy and corrections

Hardware prices and availability change fast — we update guides over time and date them. If you spot an error, email us at [email protected] and we'll correct it promptly.

Editorial independence

We use affiliate links (see our affiliate disclosure), but commissions never influence our verdicts. We recommend what we'd actually buy.
