Key Points

The post asks for recommended local AI hardware and model setup to run “Kimi 2.5” for coding workflows similar to Opus, aiming to replace a local “CodeX” tool.
The user reports prior difficulties with other models, including tool-related issues (e.g., “tools using Goose”) and unreliable project-folder review by smaller models.
They also want their device to handle ComfyUI prompts and workflows locally, with an option to add another 96GB DDR5 RAM (two RAM slots still available).
They seek guidance on whether a workstation with more expandable RAM slots would be better than incremental RAM purchases, noting limited availability of 64GB DDR5 sticks locally/Amazon.
Overall, the thread is a practical troubleshooting and requirements-gathering discussion for an on-device LLM + UI/workflow use case, given their planned RTX 5090 and DDR5 configuration.

I was playing with different models but not quite what I'm after. I want to be able to run Kimi 2.5 for coding similar like Opus locally. Specifically I want to replace CodeX on my device. Running other models I had issues with tools using Goose. Even asking a smaller model to review projects in a folder wasnt working like I wanted.

In addition I wanted something to handle comfyui prompts and workflows on the device.

I can buy another 96gb ram if needed. I still have 2 slots open.

Any ideas on what the best model/setup would be? Should I get a workstation and just start buying more ram with more slots? I can't seem to find 64gb DDR 5 ram sticks here in my country and everything on Amazon seems limited.
