About HiRAM

Practical guidance for running AI on your own computer

HiRAM publishes field guides and curated computer recommendations for people who want to run language, image, and video models locally.

How we research

We combine hands-on workflow tests with manufacturer documentation, official software documentation, and retailer specifications. When an article describes a HiRAM test, it identifies the important hardware, software, model, and observed result so readers can judge whether it applies to their own setup.

How computers are selected

We evaluate the delivered configuration: system RAM, RAM type, GPU and GPU memory when disclosed, price, expandability, and suitability for a stated local-AI workload. A recognizable processor or “AI PC” label is not enough by itself. Products can appear in more than one guide when they meet each guide's published criteria.

Prices, stock, and corrections

Product pages can change after our latest check. We display the most recent verification date available and ask readers to confirm the final configuration, price, warranty, and return policy with the retailer. To report an error, email hello@hiramdeals.com with the page URL and the detail that needs correction.

Affiliate independence

HiRAM may earn a commission when a reader purchases through an affiliate link, at no additional cost to the reader. Compensation does not change the specifications displayed or the criteria used for inclusion. Learn more in our affiliate disclosure.

Our publishing direction

HiRAM's website is the durable reference for our local-AI research and recommendations. Our video channels demonstrate workflows and hardware in a more visual format; companion articles preserve specifications, steps, sources, corrections, and updates in a form readers can search and revisit.
