Hiya,
Recently upgraded my server to an i5-12400 CPU, and have neen wanting to push my server a bit. Been looking to host my own LLM tasks and workloads, such as building pipelines to scan open-source projects for vulnerabilities and insecure code, to mention one of the things I want to start doing. Inspiration for this started after reading the recent scannings of the Curl project.
Sidenote: I have no intention of swamping devs with AI bugreports, i will simply want to scan projects that i personally use to be aware of its current state and future changes, before i blindly update apps i host.
What budget friendly GPU should i be looking for? Afaik VRAM is quite important, higher the better. What other features do i need to be on the look out for?
The budget friendly AI GPUs are in the shelf right next to the unicorn pen.
Rtx 3060 12gb has a pretty good value, a bit olde so might not be as good for a long term investment, but currently I think it supports all the modern frameworks
Afaik the budget friendliest local AI solutions currently are Mac Minis! Due to the CPU/GPU/RAM unified structure they are powerhouses for AI and astonishingly well priced for what they can put out.
