Local AI hardware recommendations

Practical model choices for drafting, coding, automation and larger local reasoning. Keep room for context, the runtime and your applications.

16 GB

Discrete NVIDIA GPU memory · e.g. RTX 5070 Ti

Used in our local workflow

Qwen3.5 9B

qwen3.5:9b · Q4_K_M · roughly 6.6 GB download including vision projector

A comfortable starting workload

  • Draft emails, summarise short documents and extract structured notes locally.
  • Routine agent checks, scheduled automation and small code explanations.
  • One local assistant alongside normal desktop applications, with a modest context window.

Aim to keep inference entirely on the GPU; system RAM does not count towards this 16 GB budget. Long context or another GPU-heavy application can use the remaining VRAM.

32 GB

N1X unified memory

Benchmarked on our GB10 AI computer

Google Gemma 4 31B

gemma4:31b · Q4_K_M · roughly 20 GB download including vision projector

Writing, documents and visual assistance

  • Draft and revise documents, summarise selected material and organise notes.
  • Discuss individual images or screenshots using a compatible runtime.
  • One local assistant session with a modest context window and light desktop use.

Unified memory is shared with the operating system and applications. Leave room for your context window and other software; large image batches and creative applications also need memory.

64 GB

N1X / Spark-class unified-memory budget

Benchmarked on our 128 GB GB10 AI computer

Qwen3-Coder 30B-A3B

qwen3-coder:30b · Q4_K_M · roughly 19 GB download

Our practical local coding choice

  • Read selected repository files, propose changes, generate tests and explain failures.
  • One coding agent working with an editor, terminal and a retrieval/indexing tool.
  • Iterative scripts and application prototypes, with actual tests reviewing the output.

Our GB10 benchmark identified this as a strong coding worker. Leave memory available for your editor, context window and agent tools. Configure repository access and code-execution permissions in your agent software.

128 GB

N1X / GB10 Spark unified memory

Verified local inference and fleet-benchmarked on GB10

OpenAI GPT-OSS 120B

gpt-oss:120b · MXFP4 · roughly 65 GB download

Larger-scale local reasoning

  • Analyse selected documents, compare options and work through multi-step questions.
  • Run a single larger reasoning assistant with an agent’s separately configured tools.
  • Deliberate planning and batch analysis.

Keep memory available for the operating system, runtime and context cache alongside the model. GPT-OSS 120B supports text-based reasoning; choose your context window around the documents and tasks you want to work through.

Choose your platform: GB10 desktop systems in this range have 128 GB unified memory; the 64 GB tier describes a workload budget. N1X laptops and DGX OS/Linux GB10 desktops offer different software ecosystems. Match your applications and runtime to the exact configuration, and check current stock in the shop.

Plan your memory: allow for the model, context, vision input, caches and other applications—not just the download size. The model benchmark results identified above were obtained on our GB10 AI computer; the 16 GB example reflects our RTX workflow.
