    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?

      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.
