ME News Report, April 2 (UTC+8), Vitalik Buterin shared his local, private deployment plans for LLMs through April 2026. The core goal is to prioritize privacy, security, and autonomous control, minimizing opportunities for remote models and external services to access personal data. This is achieved through local inference, local file storage, and sandbox isolation to reduce risks of data leaks, model jailbreaking, and malicious content exploitation.
In terms of hardware, he tested solutions including a laptop equipped with NVIDIA 5090 GPU, AMD Ryzen AI Max Pro with 128 GB unified memory, and DGX Spark, using Qwen3.5 35B and 122B models for local inference. Among these, the 5090 laptop achieved approximately 90 tokens/sec with the 35B model, the AMD solution about 51 tokens/sec, and DGX Spark around 60 tokens/sec. Vitalik stated that he prefers building a local AI environment based on high-performance laptops, while using tools like llama-server, llama-swap, and NixOS to set up the overall workflow.
