    Thank you for honestly stating that. I am in similar position myself.

    How do you like Qwen 3 next? With only 8GB vram I’m limited in what I can self host (maybe the Easter bunny will bring me a Strix lol).

      Yeah, some communities on Lemmy don’t like it when you have a nuanced take on something so I’m pleasantly surprised by the upvotes I’ve gotten.

      I’m running a Framework Desktop with a Strix Halo and 128GB RAM and up until Qwen3 Next I was having a hard time running a useful local LLM, but this model is very fast, smart and capable. I’m currently building a frontend for it to give it some structure and make it a bit autonomous so it can monitor my systems and network and help keep everything healthy. I’ve also integrated it into my Home Assistant and it does great there as well.
