I’d really love to build a machine for local LLMs. I’ve tested models on my MBP M3 Max with 128GB of ram and it’s really cool but I’d like a dedicated local server. I’d also like an excuse to play with proxmox as I’ve just run raw Linux servers or UnRaid w/ containers in the past.
I have OpenWebUI and LibreChat running on my local “app server” and I’m quite enjoying that but every time I price out a beefier box I feel like the ROI just isn’t there, especially for an industry that is moving so fast.
Privacy is not something to ignore at all but the cost of inference online is very hard to beat, especially when I’m still learning how best to use LLMs.
