I want to host some LLM’s locally and use more advanced models. Since new hardware is out of the question, I think I should be able to pull something off buying some yesteryear equipment on ebay etc. Did anybody attempt such a project? Does it scale horizontally? (I.e. can I connext two boxes to overcome single box slowness?)
I’m running Qwen 3.6 35B A3B on my Ryzen 8700g and it runs pretty well, but the bigger problem there is probably the cost of RAM
