Hold on, what are the specs of your rig? How much RAM?
I've been considering getting an old refurbished 2018 Mac Mini with 64Gb of DDR4 RAM but everything I've read suggests this will be way slower than my 16Gb M1 Pro Macbook.
- hparadiz 3mo agoI inherited a box with dual Xeons and 256 GB of DDR4. I then ran several tests and benchmarks of the hardware with several models. I've been meaning to write a blog post but well whatever here's the md. https://gist.github.com/hparadiz/f3596d00a62d8ebb2dadcc46ee5822c7 https://gist.github.com/hparadiz/f3596d00a62d8ebb2dadcc46ee5... Qwen3.5 9B performed best. You can absolutely still use this to do some basic stuff like tell opencode to convert a video file from one format to another. But frankly you're better off getting two AMD GPUs. Say a dual 7900XT would get way better performance.
