Are you tired of relying on cloud APIs for large language models?

The NVIDIA RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell is shipping, and it brings 96GB of GDDR7 ECC VRAM to a single workstation GPU. This means you can finally run 70B parameter models completely locally with room for massive context windows.

Qwen 3.5: Alibaba's Open-Weight AI Is Quietly Challenging GPT-5.4 and Gemini 3.1 (2026 Guide)

Qwen 3.5 from Alibaba analyzes 2-hour videos, runs agentic tasks autonomously, and rivals GPT-5.4 on multimodal benchmarks β€” for free. Full 2026 guide.

Tested Mistral Small 3.1 24B on my RTX 5060 Ti -- 14.4GB VRAM, 20 tokens/sec, and barely 1.6GB of breathing room left on the card.

Slow? Yes. Worth it? Surprisingly, yes.

The output quality has no business being this good on a model pressed against the VRAM ceiling. Badly wish I had a better card. This thing's good!
