Who runs the rack

Engineers who buy the hardware, run the tests and write up what happened. No sponsors pick the results.

Looking for contributors

Come build, test and talk with us

We're looking for people who run AI on their own hardware: homelab builders, people with odd GPUs, engineers putting local models to work. Help with tests, write up a build, join the podcast crew, or come on as a guest and tell your story.

  • Contribute benchmarks, builds and write-ups, published under your name
  • Join the podcast as a co-host, or on cameras, editing and production
  • Be a guest and tell us what you're running and what broke along the way
