Finally got my local AI agent node running 24/7. Huge efficiency jump vs cloud

Moved my automation/agents from cloud APIs to a dedicated local node. The difference in latency is wild. Running 24/7 now with ~8W idle / ~24W under load. No fan noise or thermal throttling from my main rig. Anyone else running a dedicated box for this, or still using standard mini-PCs? Would love to compare notes on what hardware handles the load best. submitted by /u/Ugara95 [link] [comments]
