If I said, “I want a setup that is usable for an agentic coding workflow, and it MUST be local”, what’s the smallest/cheapest option right now?
It’s _technically_ possible to get agents running on all kinds of setups but there seems to be an (undefined) floor for useful setups.
A lot of the stories people have about getting setups running on relatively low end hardware turn out to have huge compromises or run into issues on anything but trivial cases. I’ve found it hard to find a consensus.
Or maybe I just don’t like the multiple thousand dollar price tags people are suggesting…
