Soup uses layer streaming to fine-tune 8B models locally

The author says the open-source CLI tool Soup uses layer streaming, keeping the base model in system RAM and feeding it layer by layer into the GPU, enabling local fine-tuning of 8B models on 4 GB GPU laptops.

Why it mattersIt lowers the hardware barrier for locally fine-tuning large-parameter models, making training experiments easier on personal devices.
