-## Running LLMs Locally
-
-If you're using Kit with LLMs you can quickly run the model locally to speed integration, testing, or experimentation.
-
-::: tip
-Kit dev currently only works with `GGUF` serialized models, if you'd like to expand its support for other types please create a [feature issue](https://github.com/kitops-ml/kitops/issues) and describe your planned approach.
-:::
-
-To run the ModelKit locally, first create a new directory for your LLM:
-
-```sh
-mkdir kitdev
-cd kitdev
-```
-
-Now unpack an LLM ModelKit - there are several on [Jozu Hub](https://jozu.ml/discover), but here we're using Phi3 Mini because of its size:
-
-
-```sh
-kit unpack jozu.ml/jozu/phi3:3.8b-mini-instruct-4k-q4_K_M
-```
-
-Now start your LLM dev server locally using the [kit dev start command](../cli/cli-reference/#kit-dev-start):
-
-```sh
-kit dev start .
-```
-
-In the command output you'll see a URL you can use to interact with the LLM (there's a command flag to always use the same port). You can control parameters of the model, change the prompt, or chat with the LLM.
-
-If you need to get logs use the [dev logs command](../cli/cli-reference/#kit-dev-logs):
-
-```sh
-kit dev logs
-```
-
-When you're done don't forget to stop the Kit dev server:
-
-```sh
-kit dev stop
-```

 You can learn more about all the Kit CLI commands from our [command reference doc](../cli/cli-reference/).
 
-To learn about how to run an LLM locally using Kit, see our [Kit Dev](../deploy/#running-llms-locally) documentation.
