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.

Yeah that was my assumption. But I hadn't considered WOL being broadcast, so now I'm not so sure. I would assume it's broadcast on both IP and Ethernet layer. It's time to do some wiresharking :)

I don't think WoL works over IP. In my mind it's lower (LAN, e.g. ethernet) level. But if it used IP, you'd need to get ARP going before it routes. An "offline" network chip could probably manage that, though.

I'm curious to know what you find. Wireshark is always fun and fun and enlightening. :)
