what made local AI click for you on dual 3090 - tensorkite - 10-17-2026
This keeps coming up in conversation so I figured I'd start a thread.
It feels like the conversation has shifted hard toward inference and serving details lately, and honestly that makes sense once you start dealing with KV cache pressure.
Maybe obvious to some of you, but it clicked for me this week.

Did a small comparison this afternoon. I couldn't reproduce the slowdown until I pushed context much higher. The main thing that moved was latency, not quality.

Thanks, that helps. I don't think your conclusion is far off.
