Not sure if this goes here or if this post will be hated upon? but i want to host ai like llms and comfyuis newer models locally but im not sure what type of setup or parts would work best on a possible slim budget? im not sure either if now is the time with inflation and such.

I dont have a price in mind yet but im wondering how much it would cost or what parts i may need?

Framework desktop?

Yes

I've really been mulling one of those over with 128GB. I'm on Claude Max and Cerebras $50 so I'm using a good amount of $200/mo for coding and Openclaw. Is it worth it for light coding, or are you only doing SD with it?

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It would not be worth it as a replacement for Claude.

80% of my issue is that it's AMD and their drivers are still awful. 20% is that the token generation speed very slow, especially compared to commercial models running on dedicated hardware. MOE models are fine, dense models are too slow for meaningful workflows. ComfyUI is decent, but I'm not seriously into image gen.

I have a lot of fun with it, but I have not been able to use it for any actual AI dev.

Thanks for the feedback. That was precisely my worry about outlaying that money and not being happy with the result.

It's still a fantastic computer.

I use it as a server and it's very very fast, especially threaded workflows, and IO is fast.

Just don't buy it expecting to replace paid AI services. And don't buy it for AI dev, on paper it should be good, but driver issues. DGX Spark is better if yo want an AI dev machine.
