Black Friday coming up, best cost-effective rig for local inference?

Wait 5 sec.

Got a potato PC that’s 8 years old and running on GTX 1070 TI. Was able to (barely) run some 32B models until I gave up and started using APIs. What are people’s recommendations for a cost-effective, decent rig for some light to medium local inference like Qwen 3.8 flash next? How fast would it run? What about image generation?   submitted by   /u/f1yingbanana [link]   [comments]
