Unfortunately, you will not be able to run any model on this that is comparable to the Claude models.

You can run a decent model on it, say highly quantized Qwen or Deepseek R1 getting 5-10 tokens/sec output, but it will be nothing in comparison to a commercial offering like Claude, o3 or Gemini. For that you need a datacenter-class GPU going for $50K-100K a pop.

But a small collective running that box, especially spanning timezones, could potentially be a viable alternative or will be soon -- with obv privacy gains too

Every model you run on that setup will be at best half as good as Sonnet 4.
