After ChatGPT, Claude & Grok All Went Dark, One User's 3-Machine Local AI Lab Kept Running
cocktailpeanut · x · 2026-09-05
After ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok went down simultaneously, one user shared their fully local home lab setup that kept working:
- DGX Spark: DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 with 384K context for reasoning
- Spare PC with RTX 3060 12GB: Qwen3-VL-8B for vision
- RTX 5080 PC: Pinokio + ComfyUI for image/video/audio
- Hermes Desktop as orchestrator across all three machines
One agent, three machines, all local — a self-built fallback stack for when cloud models go dark.
