I have an RTX 4080 and it works as well as it can on consumer hardware without bankrupting yourself , I'm guessing anything over 3070 would work well

What model size do you feel you can run comfortably?

8-18b run very easily alongside other stuff,

18-30b run but I have to close other graphics and ram heavy stuff while using them.

Above 30b is a hit and miss and often gives my PC a seizure.

Thanks. Problem is that I do t have a desktop computer. So I was hoping maybe I can get hardware that would just sit on the network with a vpn.

I’ll check and see if I can get my hands on some used hardware.

It can run some smaller llms even with an integrated GPU or purely on CPU, something like llama:3.2:3b its also useful and you'll get a feel for things before you can run the larger models.

That is what I do on my laptop!
