Hello friends,

I’m pretty deep into self-hosting - especially on the home automation side. I’ve got a couple of options for self-hosted AI, but I don’t think they’ll meet my long term goals:

  • Coral TPUs: I have 2x processing my Frigate data. These seem fine for that purpose, but not useful for generative AIs?

  • Jetson Nano: Near as I can tell nothing supports these things except DeepStack, which appears to be abandoned. Bummed these haven’t gotten broader support in the community.

I’ve got plenty of rack space and my day job is managing thousands of machines, so not afraid of a more technical setup.

The used NVIDIA rack mounted Tesla GPU servers look interesting. What are y’all using?

Requirements:

  • Rack mounted
  • Supports local LLM and GenAI
  • Linux-based
  • Works with Docker
  • Jaff_Re@alien.topBEnglish

    Tesla P40 is a good low budget option, it has 24gb and CUDA cores. I’ve tried running 13b LLMs with 1 and it did well, plus you can afford multiple if you have enough slots
