PS5LM is an open-source project that runs llama.cpp on a jailbroken PS5's RDNA 2 GPU, turning the console into a private model server that serves GGUF models via OpenAI and Anthropic compatible APIs to any device on the local network.

Drama3 模型现已支持在 audio.cpp 中运行，在 RTX 5090 上全速运行时最快可达实时速度的 5 倍，或在低于 8 GB 显存下以约 2 倍实时速度运行，仍需进一步优化与修正。

A community-compiled ranking of 76 GPUs benchmarked with llama.cpp's Vulkan backend for local LLM inference, sorted by price-to-performance on the used market. Older wide-bus and HBM2 cards like the P102-100, MI50, and Radeon VII dominate value, while modern mid-range cards are bottlenecked by narrow memory buses.

Infermeld is an experimental open-source Linux companion kit (v0.1.0) for running one GGUF model across mixed AMD and NVIDIA GPUs using llama.cpp, packaging device selection, build instructions, preflight checks, and a thermal guard. Tested on an RX 6000 XT + RTX 3080 with Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, with the maintainer seeking other hardware combos for reproduction.

A community-curated list of budget and legacy GPUs (NVIDIA GTX/Maxwell/Pascal, AMD Radeon and Instinct MI-series) that can run LLM inference through the Vulkan backend on Linux, bypassing the latest CUDA/ROCm support requirements. The AMD Instinct MI50 16GB at around $150 is highlighted as the top value pick.
