    What are you using your local LLM for? What's the smallest/weakest model (and probably at what speed) that would make the hardware spend worth it?

      I’d like coding assistance and light logic.

      Maybe the DeepSeek R1 distilled

      having your own hardware lets you do much more than serve LLMs, it's a great learning platform in general

      the other thing is that the little models are getting better and more capable, so the hardware ROI becomes greater over time
