| Notes | AMD Ryzen Embedded V1780B 4-core/8-thread 3.35 GHz processor. x86-64 with up to 64 GB RAM and Container Station; Ollama runs CPU-only per QNAP's tutorial (>=8 GB for 3B, >=16 GB for 7B models). QNAP does not list a GPU-capable slot for this model, so its own on-prem Qsirch LLM (GPU required) is not available. No token speeds published. |

Running AI on the QNAP TS-h1073BXeU
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 |
|---|---|
| Ollama | In a container (Docker) |
| Open WebUI | In a container (Docker) |
AI features from QNAP
| Feature | What it does | Where the AI runs |
