ROCm vs CUDA for Local AI in 2026: The Software Gap Nobody Talks About
AMD GPUs have the bandwidth. They have the VRAM. They still lose by 2x on inference speed. Here's why, what actually works on ROCm 7.2, and whether RDNA 4 fixes anything.
RTX 5060 Ti Review for Local AI — The New Budget King
Real benchmarks for the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB running local LLMs. Qwen 3.5 35B at 44 tok/s, 100K context for ~$430. Compared against RTX 3060, 3090, and 4060 Ti.
WSL2 for Local AI: The Complete Windows Setup Guide
Install WSL2, configure GPU passthrough, set up Ollama and llama.cpp with CUDA, and optimize memory for LLM inference. Step-by-step for Windows 11.
