Are you kidding? A good ratio of ST folks run finetunes of Mistral Nemo (if it tells you anything). Anyway your core statement is simply wrong ("local chat sucks").
> If you intend to do LLM inference on your local machine, we recommend a 3000-series NVIDIA graphics card with at least 6GB of VRAM, but actual requirements may vary depending on the model and backend you choose to use.
Also, please be respectful when discussing technical matters.

...which is not by any means a powerful GPU, and besides the AMD Ryzen AI CPUs in question have a plenty enough capacity to run local LLMs esp. MoE ones; with 3b active MoE parameters miniPC equipped with these CPUs dramatically outperform any "3000-series NVIDIA graphics card with at least 6GB of VRAM".

That is more applicable to your inappropriately righteous attitude than to mine.
Yes, gaming is (of course) a big use case for LLMs.
