    Which hardware is for running local models that is cheap? I was not looking at GPU market for around two years, because I thought everything got expensive through the roof.

      Nothing consumer grade - I’m talking about nVidia DGX.

      $6k for the cheapest might seem expensive to a lot of people, but for an engineer with stupid amounts of data and a 1.2kW power draw, it’s insanely affordable from corporate perspectives.

        Depending on what you’re looking at, a Mac Studio might be the most bang for your buck. They have much higher memory bandwidth than the DGX Spark

          I’d have to look way more into it, but from what we were looking at, DGX spark is made with the intent of scaling from local development to datacenter execution. From memory the Mac Studio was an extremely beefy workstation.

          Both serve the purpose better than whatever my laptop’s RTX ADA 2000 can produce lol
