Hardware Recommandations

Kairntech platform – no GPU

All engines and vectorizers are supported, with the exception of Transformers, BGE-M3 vectorizer…

Refer to CPU Benchmark for reference.

Example:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X (8 cores / 16 threads, STR index: 4185, clock speed: 5.4 GHz)
  • RAM: 64 GB
  • SSD: Samsung 980 Pro 500 GB (PCIe 4.0 NVMe, high IOPS: 690 000 read / 620 000 write)

Kairntech platform – with GPU (recommended)

All engines and vectorizers supported. Training and inference times can be significantly reduced.

ComponentSpecifications
CPUAt least 8 cores, preferably more
Base clock speed ≥ 3.0 GHz
Single Thread Rating (STR) Index ≥ 2200
High core count is prioritized over single-thread speed
GPU / VRAM≥ 8 GB VRAM
CUDA compute capability ≥ 7.5
RAM64 GB, 128 GB recommended
Disk400 GB SSD with high read IOPS (≥ 10,000)

Refer to CPU Benchmark for reference.

Example:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D (8 cores / 16 threads, STR index: 4427, clock speed: 5.2 GHz)

  • SSD: Samsung 980 Pro 500 GB (PCIe 4.0 NVMe, high IOPS: 690 000 read / 620 000 write)

Local LLM inference server (GPU required)

The goal is to run an LLM locally to ensure data privacy, maintain full control, and reduce long-term costs by moving AI operations from the cloud to your own hardware.

ComponentSpecifications
CPUAt least 16 cores, preferably more
Base clock speed ≥ 3.0 GHz
Single Thread Rating (STR) Index ≥ 2000
GPU / VRAM48 GB VRAM (16 GB VRAM with quantized models)
to run GPT-OSS-20B, Mistral 24B…
RAM128 GB
Disk2 TB NVMe SSD (PCIe Gen4)

Refer to CPU Benchmark for reference.

Example:

  • CPU: AMD Threadripper 7970X (32 cores / 64 threads, STR index: 4170, clock speed: 5.3 GHz)
  • GPU/VRAM: NVIDIA RTX 6000 ada (48 GB VRAM)
  • RAM: 128 GB
  • SSD: Samsung 980 Pro 2 TB (PCIe 4.0 NVMe, high IOPS: 690 000 read / 660 000 write)

Entity-fishing server (no GPU required)

The entity-fishing server aims to automatically annotate content using Wikidata and the Wikipedia knowledge base. It is mainly combined with a NER model within a pipeline.

ComponentSpecifications
CPU8 physical cores, CPUs with high sustained all-core turbo frequencies, ideally > 3 GHz
RAM128 GB recommended
Disk400 GB SSD with high read IOPS (≥ 10,000)

Refer to CPU Benchmark for reference.

Example:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G (8 cores / 16 threads, STP index: 3273, clock speed: 4.6 GHz)
  • RAM: 128 GB
  • SSD: Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB (PCIe 4.0 NVMe, high IOPS: 690 000 read / 660 000 write)
