Along with @mozilla, @wikimediafoundation, @communia, @nextcloud and others, the @osi drafted a letter on how Europe can leverage #OpenSourceAI.
Our recommendations:
🤝 Reform public procurement to take into account the benefits of #OpenSource
💶 Fund Open Source solutions
💻 Get Open Source devs access to compute
💾 Unlock public domain data while protecting privacy and personal data
🔧 Build capacity in public and private sectors to use Open Source solutions!

❓ AI is “coming, ready or not!”, but what’s the best way to receive it?
❓ While Silicon Valley is awash with enthusiastically valued companies in a race to see who can boil the ocean first, could there be a better way to do this?

Hey everyone 👋
I’m diving deeper into running AI models locally—because, let’s be real, the cloud is just someone else’s computer, and I’d rather have full control over my setup. Renting server space is cheap and easy, but it doesn’t give me the hands-on freedom I’m craving.
So, I’m thinking about building my own AI server/workstation! I’ve been eyeing some used ThinkStations (like the P620) or even a server rack, depending on cost and value. But I’d love your advice!
My Goal:
Run larger LLMs locally on a budget-friendly but powerful setup. Since I don’t need gaming features (ray tracing, DLSS, etc.), I’m leaning toward used server GPUs that offer great performance for AI workloads.
Questions for the Community:
1. Does anyone have experience with these GPUs? Which one would you recommend for running larger LLMs locally?
2. Are there other budget-friendly server GPUs I might have missed that are great for AI workloads?
3. Any tips for building a cost-effective AI workstation? (Cooling, power supply, compatibility, etc.)
4. What’s your go-to setup for local AI inference? I’d love to hear about your experiences!
I’m all about balancing cost and performance, so any insights or recommendations are hugely appreciated.
Thanks in advance! 🙌

Hoi iedereen! 👋
Vragen aan de community:
Heeft iemand ervaring met deze GPU’s? Welke zou je aanbevelen voor het lokaal draaien van grotere LLMs?
Zijn er andere budgetvriendelijke server-GPU’s die ik misschien heb gemist en die geweldig zijn voor AI-workloads?
Heb je tips voor het bouwen van een kosteneffectieve AI-workstation? (Koeling, voeding, compatibiliteit, enz.)
Wat is jouw favoriete setup voor lokale AI-inferentie? Ik zou graag over jullie ervaringen horen!
Alvast bedankt! 🙌"
