| Notes | AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B. x86-64 CPU (AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B, 4C/8T), RAM upgradable to 32 GB, and Container Manager (Docker) plus Virtual Machine Manager are supported, so Ollama/llama.cpp run on the NAS. CPU-only: no GPU option, so expect small-to-mid quantized models at low tokens per second. |

Running AI on the Synology RS822RP+
Yes, it runs AI models on the NAS itself. Models run on its CPU cores, and this configuration leaves about 12.0 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 + Open WebUI | In a container (Docker) |
| Any Linux guest running llama.cpp / Ollama | In a virtual machine |
AI features from Synology
| Feature | What it does | Where the AI runs |
