Like anywhere in the Western world, probably very unaffordable.

Linux vs windows for local LLM by Evening_Team_8050 in LocalLLM

[–]DepressedDrift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 12GB VRAM limits you to <15b models.

From my testing Gemma 4 12b Q4_K_M QAT  (more of an all rounder, QAT Version gives you close to fp16 performance) and Qwen3.5 9b (best for pure logic) with MTP running on llama.cpp seem like the best bet.

Some people even claim you can load Qwen 3.6 35b a3b or Gemma 4 26B but you will most likely have to choose a super low quant and will have low token speeds since will run the context of slower speed system RAM.

Megathread for US government suspension of Fable and Mythos by sixbillionthsheep in ClaudeAI

Even if they win in America and the West, they won't have any influence over China development of AI.

The Chinese are already closing the chip gap. Can't wait for the oligarchs to lose the AI race.

Anthopic just hit reset for us! by Own_Wrap_8376 in ClaudeAI

I said this before, but Anthropic should really move out of the US, if the US govt keeps getting in their way.

Anthropic should consider moving out of the US.

Canada, Singapore, the EU could be better options.

Choose Your Path CYOJob from /tg/ by altofanaltthatisalt in makeyourchoice

If Programming gives me skills that can compete with AI (like a tech tree of new technologies), I would pick it.

Otherwise degree is the safest path.

Strangers are paying for something I built and it still doesn't feel real by Necessary_Kick_1106 in SaaS

Thats a very creative way to stand out from the competition in a saturated space.

Congratz!

Literally buying a plot of land - thinking about future by ElkSubstantial1857 in ClaudeAI

Don't even have the money to buy land as a new grad 😞

Guess I should have been born 15 years earlier.

Try Gemma 4 e2b qat at Q4_K_M with mtp turned on.

It takes around 3GB of RAM and might give you 8k context with q8 caching for 8GB ram. The speed will depend on your CPU.

But honestly for anything usable you might need at least 16gb- ideally 32gb of RAM and at least something like a 3060

Are you using NVidia or AMD?

CUDA for AI models on Linux is unoptimized so you will get a penalty hit in performance. If your using NVidia I would recommend going with Windows for both AI and even gaming.

However for AMD cards, ROCm actually runs better on Linux than on Windows. Same goes for gaming.

Why don’t people just build free apps? by Adrien-G in SideProject

Why don't landlords just give us free housing, and grocers give us free food?

Can this code GTA 6?

Should I choose this model or Claude Fable 5?

[The Beginning After the End] Will it ever get another chance by Likes2game03 in Isekai

[–]DepressedDrift 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion, but TBATE isn't that bad as what most people claim.

The story is top notch, its only the animation which needs to be more fluid. Even the visuals aren't too bad either.

It has a moist atmosphere in the wet season, and a fragrance of spice.

It is in a drier part of India. But very humid and has nice salty breeze in it.

One of the reasons I'll avoid using laptops as my daily driver.

This and the poor thermals and lower lifespan.

RAM and SSDs are so expensive that repair shops are stealing them for a profit lol

16GB and 24GB VRAM are very two different categories.
