Probably because they can call it YASP and give it a cute mascot
How many GPUs do you even need to have a usable, self-hosted AI? It looks like he has 6 on his rig. Probably each costs 2k or something. That's not peanuts. I have a 12GB VRAM card. It probably can't generate anything in any meaningful amount of time. Which brings me to the question: who is this for?
Regardless, impressive what he vibe-coded there.
16GB is plenty for even older model setups. Now they've got a few models designed so you load just parts of the model onto the GPU (Mixture of Experts) and use the CPU for less referenced sections, so you get both reasonable speed and a much more complex model.
Depends on what you want it to do and how well it should do it. Zero is potentially enough. A second hand card from half a decade ago can also do quite a lot.
I have a rx5600xt (6gb), 32gb ram, ryzen 3600. System hasn't been updated since i built it during covid. QwenV3-vl35B is the heftiest thing I can run, it gets around 2 tokens/sec, in LM studio. It's easier than most people seem to think.
My buddy has an older 16GB card and I installed LM studio for fun. Its not quite as fast as some of the web-based ones, but perfectly usable.
I was finally becoming interested in Felix when he started dabbling in Linux and made some serious cool shit...Now that he's made his own slop tool, I am losing interest in him again. It's so fucking cursed, this slop nonsense needs to stop. I wish he would've stuck with ricing, making fun projects instead of open source washing corporate garbage.
Those are his fun projects. He's not doing them for you. I honestly think its a cool project even if its not something crazy or anything. And honestly self-hosted AI projects are imo a lot better than just using claude tokens or whatever
One more harness, bro.

~~I'm a tiny bit confused as to what this actually is~~. I don't use the Codex/ClaudeCode/Cursor stuff, but it seems like this is just an interface for connecting those services, isn't it? It doesn't seem like that actually protects your data at all.
Can anyone help explain it a bit?
Edit: I realized I kinda glossed over all the stuff that seemed to be included in this, I more meant the start where he talked about this being privacy centric. Is he just trying to make self-hosting less painful?
This can do either.
I love that guy. Remember hating him back in the days when he got popular by sitting and yelling while playing games. But damn the guy matured and put out epic content the past 10 years or so.
Honestly now that hes mostly retired his content is so chill now
