Patched Strata makes DeepSeek V4.1 agent sessions start 20x faster on a home gaming GPU

A Reddit user pushed back on claims that consumer hardware can't run LLM agents: they patched Strata so that DeepSeek V4.1 agent sessions start 20x faster on a standard gaming GPU with ordinary home DRAM — no datacenter required.

The attached screenshot shows home DRAM at 100% utilization, indicating the memory bandwidth is fully saturated. The author sarcastically addresses earlier "home DRAM is quite terrible" remarks, showing that an optimized agent framework can run serious agent workloads on consumer hardware.
