Testing Qwen models, GPU inference, and the software stack that finally gave CyberTron a brain.
| CyberTron finally moves beyond hardware upgrades and starts doing what it was built for: running local AI. In this chapter, I put Ollama, Open WebUI, and the RTX 3060 to work, test Qwen models up to 14B, and see how far a $150 AMD FX-era machine can really go as a private AI server. |

How 12 GB of VRAM turned an old AMD FX desktop into a much more capable local AI server.
| CyberTron takes another major step forward with an upgrade from a GTX 1060 6 GB to an RTX 3060 12 GB. This article looks at why VRAM matters so much for local AI, why an older 12 GB GPU still makes sense in 2026, and how the upgrade opened the door to larger models, bigger context windows, and 100% GPU inference on a $150 AMD FX-era machine. |
