What is still worth upgrading on an older PC?

[SuperPosition78]

Something I have been researching and wanted a sanity check on.

Real answers from people here are usually more useful than search results.

Would be interested to hear from people at different stages of experience with this, not just experts.

A lot of these topics get flattened into yes or no answers when the reality is usually messier.

Interested in real answers rather than the obvious ones

I would be cautious about taking the early reports at face value on this one. I will update this thread if anything significant changes

Fair enough. I had something similar happen.

Cheers for sharing

I think privacy is the biggest argument for local AI, but is it enough to outweigh weaker model quality?
