Running AI on the Asustor Flashstor 6 Gen3 (FS806X1)
Yes, it runs AI models on the NAS itself. Models run on its CPU cores, and this configuration leaves about 5.2 GB for them after the NAS system and its storage services. The grades below assume the NAS isn’t busy with backups or media work at the same time. More memory is the upgrade that matters most: see the configurations.
Apps you can install to run models
| App | How it installs |
