Running AI on the Topton N25 14-bay dual-10GbE NAS motherboard (Core Ultra 5 225H / 7 255H / 9 285H)
Yes, it runs AI models on the NAS itself. Models run on its GPU (Vulkan), and this configuration leaves about 36.5 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.
