Is it possible to run a LLM on a mini-pc like the GMKtec K8 and K9?

I have experience in running servers, but I would like to know if it's possible to do it, I just need a GPT 3.5 like private LLM running.

They're Ryzen processors with "AI" accelerators, so an LLM can definitely run on hardware on one of those. Other options are available, like lower powered ARM chipsets (RK3588-based boards) with accelerators that might have half the performance but are far cheaper to run, should be enough for a basic LLM.

I don't know of any project that already supports that AI processor. You'd still be using the CPU and GPU at the moment.

The K8 it's Ryzen, the K9 Intel, money isn't a problem and it's not a spending it's a investment I need it for business, which of these two models would you recommend for a reasonable good LLM and Stable Diffusion?

I'm looking for the most cost-effective solution.
