  • GPU vs CPU for self-hosted AI inference: when each wins in 2026AI Agents · 2026-10-17

    When does a GPU pay for itself in self-hosted AI inference, and when is a modern CPU the better answer? A reasoned comparison of four kinds of host (Raspberry Pi 5, Intel NUC 13, Mac Mini M4, a single-GPU box): what each can run, what it costs to keep on, and where the CPU wins. Orders of magnitude, not a measured benchmark.
