| Notes | AMD G-Series GX-420MC 4-core 2.0 GHz processor. x86-64 but a 2014-era low-power AMD G-Series 2.0 GHz quad-core with at most 16 GB DDR3L. Ollama in Container Station can run CPU-only (QNAP tutorial: >=8 GB for 3B, >=16 GB for 7B models) but will be very slow; no GPU option. No token speeds published. |

Running AI on the QNAP TS-463XU-RP
It can, with limits: expect small models only, at modest speed. Models run on its CPU cores, and this configuration leaves about 2.0 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 |
|---|---|
| Ollama | In a container (Docker) |
| Open WebUI | In a container (Docker) |
AI features from QNAP
| Feature | What it does | Where the AI runs |
|---|---|---|
| Qsirch RAG Search (cloud LLM mode) | Chat with NAS files using a cloud LLM (Gemini, OpenAI, Azure OpenAI or OpenAI-compatible API); the model runs remotely. | Cloud service or another computer |
| AI Service Center (beta) cloud models | Central hub for connecting NAS apps to cloud models (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, OpenAI-compatible); local model library is limited to x86 NAS with a tested GPU (third-party report). | Cloud service or another computer |
