Thought I'd post a small recipe because a lot of threads ask similar things.
Just sharing a setup that ended up working reasonably well: DeepSeek, vLLM, A6000, with a lot of attention on reranking.
Maybe useful as a starting point for newer folks.
My use case is pretty ordinary: local chat, some document work, and occasional batch jobs.
I expected the biggest difference to come from the model, but the stack around it mattered at least as much.
