That is sweet! The extent of my cluster is a few Pis that talk to the Mac Mini over the LAN for inference stuff, that I could definitely use some headroom on. I tried to integrate it into the cluster directly by running k3s in colima - but to join an existing cluster via IP, I had to run colima in host networking mode - so any pods on the mini that were trying to do CoreDNS networking were hitting collisions with mDNSResponder when dialing port 53 for DNS. Finally decided that the macs are nice machines but not a good fit for a member of a cluster.

Love that AMD seems to be closing the gap on the performance _and_ power efficiency of Apple Silicon with the latest Ryzen advancements. Seems like one of these new miniPCs would be a dream setup to run a bunch of data and AI centric hobby projects on - particularly workloads like geospatial imagery processing in addition to the LLM stuff. Its a fun time to be a tinkerer!
