Hardware worth building around

A rotating selection from the catalogue. Availability and pricing come straight from live inventory — nothing here is a placeholder number.

Memory first

The only number that decides what runs

Model weights have to fit in memory before anything else matters. Buy for the model and the context window you actually need, then check bandwidth, power and cooling around it.

These bands are rounded estimates. Quantisation, context length and batch size all move them — always leave headroom.

4-bit quantised

  • 8 GB7B–8B quantisedSmall assistants, embeddings
  • 16 GB13B–14B quantisedComfortable single-GPU work
  • 24 GB30B–34B quantisedPractical floor for that class
  • 48 GB70B quantisedOne accelerator, one large model
  • 80 GB+70B at 8-bitMulti-model serving

Bandwidth drives tokens per second; capacity decides whether a model fits at all.

Learn

Read the arithmetic before you buy

Every listing here advertises a number. The guide explains which numbers decide whether a model fits, and the posts run that arithmetic on specific models — including the ones where the API is the cheaper answer.

Why local AI

Owning the machine changes the economics

Hosted inference is convenient until your workload becomes steady. At that point the trade-offs flip toward hardware — in privacy, in cost and in control.

About swaymAI
  • Your prompts stay on your machine

    Inference runs locally, so sensitive data never leaves your network. No third-party retention to reason about.

  • Predictable cost per token

    You buy the hardware once. After that, long-running jobs and experimentation have no per-token bill attached.

  • No rate limits or cold starts

    Your throughput is bounded by your own silicon, not by a provider’s quota — useful for batch jobs and agent loops.

  • Run 7B–70B parameter models without a monthly API contract.
  • Keep embeddings, documents and customer data inside your own network.
  • Reuse one machine for inference, fine-tuning experiments and evaluation runs.
  • Upgrade incrementally — add memory or a second accelerator instead of replacing the box.
  • Works offline: ideal for field deployments and air-gapped environments.
