Hiya,
Recently upgraded my server to an i5-12400 CPU, and have neen wanting to push my server a bit. Been looking to host my own LLM tasks and workloads, such as building pipelines to scan open-source projects for vulnerabilities and insecure code, to mention one of the things I want to start doing. Inspiration for this started after reading the recent scannings of the Curl project.
Sidenote: I have no intention of swamping devs with AI bugreports, i will simply want to scan projects that i personally use to be aware of its current state and future changes, before i blindly update apps i host.
What budget friendly GPU should i be looking for? Afaik VRAM is quite important, higher the better. What other features do i need to be on the look out for?


If you’re just doing this for yourself then you still need to know the programming languages involved, what kind of vulnerabilities exist, how to validate them and quite a bit of how the projects operate.
The AI will output a lot of false positives and you will need to actually know if any of the “vulnerabilities” are valid or just hallucinations. Do you really want that extra workload?
