minus-squaremeowmeow@quokk.aulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·14 hours agoA budget build is going to run you $4k+ for something like qwen3-coder:30b, and you’ll probably be annoyed at the speed of you’re used to Codex or Claude.

minus-squaremeowmeow@quokk.aulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·13 hours agoFast is relative. I’m also commenting on the cost of the entire system, not just the gpu, fyi
minus-squareinfinitevalence@discuss.onlinelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down1·13 hours agoThat’s fair, but nearly any modern CPU at least 32gb of RAM and a current GPU with 16gb is plenty. No need for a 4k system when a 1k-1.5k will do it. If you’re willing to Frankenstein things some of the used AI/ML/mining cards can be a decent value.
minus-squaremeowmeow@quokk.aulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·12 hours agoYes, but when you compare it to codex and Claude though, it’s significantly slower. Especially over time. Better crank that AC. I think in a few years we will have current cloud levels running pretty efficiently on current computers.
