Anybody used a tinybox? https://tinygrad.org/#tinybox

The most "affordable" option is red v2 with 64GB GPU ram and costs $12,000. This is only ("only") 1.5x-3x the price of a beefy desktop (https://pcpartpicker.com/builds/), and could crush inference work even on bigger models. It could support coding tasks for a small team of developers, or run an AI agent for every person in your household...

64GB VRAM is too little to run good coding models IMHO. May be useful if you need voice models or run some slightly-smarter-regex batch processing or RAG workflows. Perhaps you're supposed to buy 4 or 8 of these and split inference across them.

If you have $12K to spend, you may be better off with DGX Spark or a Mac with 128GB VRAM. That can (barely) fit DeepSeek V4 Flash.
