Should You Buy Intel ARC PRO B50 GPU for Local AI? Hermes Agent?

From the creator

It's been just about one year since Intel released their most interesting "pro" local AI gpu, the Arc Pro B50. At the time this was an un-proven GPU with seemingly limited use cases but it's turned out to showcase one of Intel's biggest wins with local AI enthusiasts looking for a great option to run agentic tasks and great compatibility with homelabs / linux. It might not be the fastest, but it competes with the nVidia 5060ti 16gb and 5070FE and is currently one of the cheapest GPU's with 16gb of VRAM available.

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional £25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
