who is running their own local LLM for processing personal / private topics, e.g. emails, whatsapp .. etc? what hardware are you using and how satisfied are you ?
Me. RTX 3060 12GB with Qwen3.6-35B-A3B MoE using a customised llama.cpp, and the machine is a Ryzen 9 with 64 GB of RAM. And I am pretty happy. I use GPT Sol or Opus 5.5 as an orchestrator/validator, and the heavy lifting is done locally.
