alt Hacker NewsA local model tops 60 tokens/s max. Running it on the background means not being able to use on the task you are working on. When working on local hardware you cannot do concurrent requests. In deepseek for example you can have 100 agents running each getting at 120 tokens/s easily. In local models you are limited by your own infrastructure.

You seem really upset that people do things differently than you. May I suggest trying Tetris to help you feel better? https://play.tetris.com
I do concurrent requests just fine and they have no noticeable performance impact. Not all local hardware is equal. Also, humans have to sleep. Agents don't, so processing stuff over night and reviewing in the morning just gets more utilization out of what is already there.
