Myself, I'm a fan of local LLM / self hosted ML.... but if you ever needed a clarion call that a hard pivot is coming (soon) for online/ cloud based AI...Altman et al are making some concerning mouth noises (to say nothing of broader concerns with OAI, Anthropic etc).

Right now, I'm sketching out a plan where my Raspberry Pi (always on, 2-3w) uses a magic packet to wake up my modest AI server (Lenovo P330 with Tesla P4) if/when needed (Qwen 3.6-35B-A3B); no point in chugging down 80-100w, 24/7 for no good reason.

If the trend continues the direction it appears to be (increasing costs, environmental impacts etc) then I'd feel a lot better hosting my own as port of first call and replacing simpler tasks with more traditional programs. YMMV.

I was looking at that. Does it end up faster than something like a 1080?

Numbers about 3-4x. The P100 is near 800 GB/s. The 1080 is what... 192GB/s? Hell, even if it were double that, HBM2 simply has larger bandwidth. The 1080 was a gaming card; the P100 is a server / number cruncher.
