- DIY builders testing local AI hardware
- Worth noticing
- The featured experiment compares a Radeon GPU and a three-card home rig, with token rates, VRAM, and thermals among the stated measurements.
Field notes
The channel describes each episode as one question answered with runs on its own machines, including token rates, VRAM, and temperatures. Its featured Strata test has English and Japanese versions; the site also introduces Marvin, a home-built assistant paired with a GPU setup it says can be difficult to manage. A community Discord is described as forthcoming.
