This is a good time to ask: I want to use AI on a local server (deepseek maybe, image generators like flux, ...) is there a cheaper alternative to flagship Nvidia cards which can do it?
Assuming you haven't ruled this out already, test your plans out now using whatever computer you already own. At the hobbyist level you can do a lot with 8GB ram and no graphics card. 7B LLMs are really good now and they're only going to get better.
