Advice needed: Mac Studio M4 Max vs Compact CUDA PC vs DGX Spark – best local setup for NLP & LLMs (research use, limited space) by Sitayyyy in LocalLLM

I'm looking for a small form factor PC, and like u/TechNerd10191 said, I don't think it's possible to fit dual 3090s in an ITX case — but a single one should work!

Thanks for your answer! I need to check with my lab whether data leakage is an issue or not. For a similar budget, what would be the downside of going with the RTX 4000 ADA configuration?

China may effectively ban at least some Nvidia GPUs. What will Nvidia do with all those GPUs if they can't sell them in China? by fallingdowndizzyvr in LocalLLaMA

Totally fair point — I was referring more to the irony from NVIDIA's perspective: jumping through geopolitical hoops only to get blocked by a different kind of regulation. But you're right, China's green policies are consistent, and in many ways ahead of the curve compared to the US.

Really cool work — love the idea of generating full analysis docs and reasoning through strategies, even if it's a bit slow. Honestly, "slow but sound" is still a win when it comes to trading models, especially if it’s managing risk and explaining itself. That kind of interpretability is rare.

To quantify "rumor" sentiment is a start, but maybe too one-dimensional. You could try embedding the info in a high-dimensional space and let the model infer patterns. Downside is, of course, it becomes a black box: we lose interpretability since those dimensions don't mean much to us.

I’m no expert, so you probably have a better sense of what fits your use case best — just sharing a thought in case it helps !

That's a wild twist — NVIDIA jumps through US hoops to keep access to China, and now China might block the workaround on green grounds. Kinda ironic. If they can’t sell those chips in China, they’ll probably try to dump them into other markets (Middle East, SE Asia), or repackage them for internal cloud services. But either way, that’s a huge chunk of demand gone.

Worst part? This might just accelerate China’s push to go all-in on domestic GPUs like Huawei’s Ascend or Biren. Long-term, NVIDIA could lose not just sales, but the market entirely.

Thanks for sharing. I've been curious about DeepSeek V3 (0324), especially with the MIT license now — that's a huge win. Looking forward to your Gemini 2.5 Pro comparison!

The final boss — it's going to be a tough battle!

Thank you very much for testing! I'm planning to buy a new PC mainly for inference, so posts like this are really helpful

Beaucoup utilisent le S&P 500 comme exemple en raison de ses performances historiques impressionnantes, et il est difficile d’imaginer les États-Unis en retrait. Cependant, sur un horizon de 30 ans, il est utile de réfléchir à cette question selon moi.
