Set up a new AI model on my two home servers while I stay in bed

A home-lab owner reported on X (via WhatAgentsCanDo, Oct 19) that, still in bed, he sent the AI a link to a post containing a setup recipe for a new DeepSeek model (DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017, EXL3) across two NVIDIA DGX Spark machines and asked it to do the setup. The AI was not installed on the Sparks, but they shared a network with its computer, and everything was ready to test by the time he got up; he says he does not know exactly how the bot reached the machines.

How it works

  1. Send the bot a link to the post containing the setup recipe
  2. Bot reads the recipe
  3. Downloads the model
  4. Sets it up across two NVIDIA DGX Spark machines on the shared home network
  5. Hands back a ready-to-test setup

Why it’s worth knowing

From one link, sent from bed, the bot installed a model on two machines it was not even installed on — they were just on its network.
