Built a local RAG system for 5G network fault diagnosis

Stack: Llama 3.2 3B (Ollama) + BGE-M3 + ChromaDB + LlamaIndex. Runs fully local on 16GB RAM.

Ask it why a cell is dropping throughput — it retrieves real KPI logs and incident reports, returns a cited root cause diagnosis.

Data: 188k rows of real 5G operator traces with injected fault labels.

One gotcha: Llama 3.1 8B OOMs when BGE-M3 is also loaded. 3B works fine.
