Comment on What type of computer setup would one need to run ai locally?
panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 1 day agoIt 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.
