Stop obsessing over your GPU's core clock — memory clock matters more for local LLM inference

If you've been tuning your GPU for gaming for years, you've probably focused more on pushing the core clock to push your framerates higher, with some undervolting thrown in for lower thermals. That ...

Running AI Natively on Windows 11 Using an eGPU

Even an older workstation-class eGPU like the NVIDIA Quadro P2200 delivers dramatically faster local LLM inference than CPU-only systems, with token-generation rates up to 8x higher. Running LLMs ...

Usage-based pricing killing your vibe - here's how to roll your own local AI coding agents

Do we even need Anthropic or OpenAI's top models, or can we get away with a smaller local model? Sure, it might be slower, ...

The great NPU failure: Two years later, local AI is still all about GPUs

For the last few years, the term “AI PC” has basically meant little more than “a lightweight portable laptop with a neural processing unit (NPU).” Today, two years after the glitzy launch of NPUs with ...
