Running AI on the ORICO CyberData CF500 Pro
It can, with limits: expect small models only, at modest speed. 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 |
|---|---|
| Open WebUI | From the NAS app store |
| Ollama | In a container (Docker) |
AI features from ORICO
| Feature | What it does | Where the AI runs |
