Three rigs for freelance work an NDA won't let leave the building

Client confidentiality rules out cloud APIs for this freelancer, who spreads different model sizes across three separate machines.

Freelancing is this person's only income, and a lot of the projects they work on contractually forbid sending data to a third party — personal financial information adds another reason to keep things local. Their main workstation, an EPYC 7763 with 1TB of RAM and four RTX 3090s, runs Kimi K3 at a Q2_K_XL quant; a second PC with 32GB total VRAM and 128GB RAM runs DeepSeek V4 Flash; a third, lighter system with 64GB of RAM can run Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B. The four GPUs also serve near-real-time Blender Cycles previews and other memory-heavy work.
