In the trenches I've been making investments in being able to host and run our own open weight models as I wait for the inevitable rug pull from the big AI companies. Surprisingly if you use the right combination of models and some specific used equipment you can achieve good results.
@mike What gear are u using?
@krst We are using a 4u supermicro chassis with eight GPU bays. I'm adding GPUs as cash flow allows. We also have a new strix halo box that we use for development, etc. So far under 15k in gear. As always more compute would be lovely.
