Myself, I'm a fan of local LLM / self hosted ML.... but if you ever needed a clarion call that a hard pivot is coming (soon) for online/ cloud based AI...Altman et al are making some concerning mouth noises (to say nothing of broader concerns with OAI, Anthropic etc).

Right now, I'm sketching out a plan where my Raspberry Pi (always on, 2-3w) uses a magic packet to wake up my modest AI server (Lenovo P330 with Tesla P4) if/when needed (Qwen 3.6-35B-A3B); no point in chugging down 80-100w, 24/7 for no good reason.

If the trend continues the direction it appears to be (increasing costs, environmental impacts etc) then I'd feel a lot better hosting my own as port of first call and replacing simpler tasks with more traditional programs. YMMV.

that's probably the BIOS only loading the configuration on the first boot. you could try enabling fast boot or disabling the right energy saving settings in the BIOS and see if that fixes it.
