I wanted to share with you all my experience on coding with local AI, on a self-hosted oss.

(the entire post has been fully written by me without any AI)

Check the linked blog post.

Also, to be clear, the post itself has no ads and no monetization whatsoever. This is not self promotion for any scope than to share my experience on a controversial topic.

(this has been posted on a couple of self-host communities, but i thought it could be of interest here as well)

Adding here for this community: my setup is a Ryzen 9 5950X with 64gb DDR4 and two NVIDIA RTX A4000 (32gb VRAM total), running Qwen 3.8 27b UD_Q5_K, with 200k context (q8) on llama.cpp.

Unfortunately still needs a massive amount of computation power... 🥴

    Ram is overkill. 32gb maybe even 16gb would be enough. The CPU too, I used to have an Intel i7 from 10 years ago and it worked. Upgraded because that was the cheapest upgrade I could do.

    The GPUs are mandatory, at least to get 30t/s...
