Local LLM users seek networked multi-GPU solutions

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user on the r/LocalLLaMA subreddit is seeking methods to combine the processing power of two separate PCs, one equipped with an RTX 5090 and another with an RTX 4080, for running large language models. They are looking for a user-friendly client application, similar to existing tools like LMStudio or JanAI, that facilitates this networked GPU usage. The user also inquires about the reasons behind the apparent lack of readily available solutions for this specific use case. AI

IMPACT Highlights a potential gap in tooling for users wanting to scale local LLM inference across multiple machines.
