This person had an RTX 3090, RTX 4090 and RTX 5090 across a few machines and wanted them doing real work instead of benchmarking. They built an agent layer around Qwen 3.8 27B with stateful sessions and durable checkpoints, plus plans to restore or move sessions between machines and to a NAS.
The use case that justified it is a local-first personal Mint-style portfolio tracker, handling financial documents, private investments and crypto that they do not want continuously sent to a cloud model. They frame local not as a replacement for Claude or Codex but as a niche worth having: give an agent all your private information and let it work on it.
