dedicated AI gadgets you actually use on mini PC - rocmpath - 10-17-2026
Thought I'd post a small recipe because a lot of threads ask similar things.
Maybe useful as a starting point: vLLM on 5090, keeping tool calling in mind from the start.
If someone wants the exact settings I can clean them up and post them.
For context, I'm not chasing leaderboard numbers. I mostly want the system to feel consistent day to day.

A couple things I'd check first. On mini PC, the easiest win is often to back off the aggressive settings and see whether the problem survives.

Not sure I agree there. I've seen people blame reranking when the real issue was much more mundane. Could be a workload difference, but I wouldn't generalize too fast from one setup.
I'm happy to test one more variant if you want a second data point.
