OFFGRID AI, I now run 3.8 27b Q8 offgrid :) A forum user reports running an off-grid AI setup with a 3.8 27b Q8 model across five GPUs (1x5060/8GB, 2x3060/12GB, 1x1660s/6GB, 1x1070/8GB) at 550W, powered by a Renogy 2000W inverter, two 220Ah 24V LiTime batteries, and 1400W solar panels (1100W actual), achieving 200-second responses for hard questions. The setup also runs seven Proxmox VMs, six websites, RAG/EMBED, Grafana, and a TrueNAS server with 10 spinners and 4 SSDs. my prior post in “new commers” shows my setup ai https://forum.level1techs.com/tag/ai & gaming $4 84gb vram , but i am running Q8 only on these shards atm. 1x5060/8gb, 2x 3060/12gb, 1x1660s/6gb, 1x1070/8gb with 200sec response for hard questions according to opus5 max . 550w usage. i have a renogy 2000w inverter, 2x 220ah 24v litime batts, 1400w solar panels 1100w actual . i also run 7 proxmox VM’s…6 websites, RAG/EMBED, grafana, other small programs and a trunas server 10 spinners and 4 ssd’s spinners are idle most of the time atm due to not using jellyfin to much hence the 550w.
