Damn. Well I'll spend a few bucks trying it out and I'll ask my employer if they're okay with me using agents on company time, but

But I'm not thrilled about centralized, paid tools. I came into software during a huge FOSS boom. Like a huge do it yourself, host it yourself, Publish Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere, all the power to all the people, borderline anarchist communist boom.

I don't want it to be like other industries where you have to buy a dog shit EMR and buy a dog shit CAD license and buy a dog shit tax prep license.

Maybe I lived through the whale fall and Moloch is catching us. I just don't like it. I rage against dying lights as a hobby.

Yeah, I'm ready to jump in, but I need an agent running on my hardware at home without internet access.

How far away are we from that? How many RYX 50s do I need?

This is a serious question btw.

I mean it depends on the model; some people running deepseek report they have better performance at home running on a CPU with lots of ram (think a few hundred gigabytes). Even when running locally vram is more relevant than the performance of the GPU. That said I'm really not the person to ask about this, as I don't have AI agents running amuck on my machine yet
