I haven’t looked into paperless-ai yet, but I hope my machine would be beefy enough for this task — worst case I guess it might take a little longer to process all docs.
Now I only still need to decide on a good archiving method. I read some article a long time ago about the pros and cons of different document archiving methods used by professional archivers. Some prefer horizontal stacking in boxes, while others prefer vertical stacks in vertical boxes. Pretty interesting nerdy topic 😀

You need a GPU with a decent amount of VRAM to get LLMs working well locally. I don’t have a new enough GPU to be useful - my server just has the Intel iGPU, and my desktop PC only has a GTX1080, which is from before Nvidia added Tensor cores for AI.
