Guys, I found a use case for my 10$/m LLM Server: Cooking

Basically, I use To Good 2 Go a lot, get random food, take a photo and ask Qwen 3.5 128B what the fuck to cook.
Beyond pasta and pizza, I have zero cooking skills.
So far, god bless, no food poisoning yet.
Today we had grilled chicken sticks.

I’ve heard that Qwen3.5 is pretty good at tools use.

just a couple of hands and a bottle of oil

I use it for recipes too, photos useful. Chinese models a bit better here because they have a wider culinary heritage.
Also good for identifying plants.

I wonder how Mistral would fare
_supert_@reddit
Probably use a lot of butter.

too bad it can't taste it

Try giving it a prompt "Creative, never seen food before, edible, 4k, best quality, masterpiece"
More-Curious816@reddit
No mistakes
Not poisonous.
SGmoze@reddit
In the negatives we can go for "RAW, idiot sandwich, low quality, venomous, poisonous"

For a holiday meal add 'by Greg Rutkowski'.

$10/month wife, text only

Not even that, dude has to do it himself. Best example of "skill issue" of the day

Expand that into a pantry inventory system where it keeps running tabs on your inventory using images you take and feed into it every few days and it'll be able to tell you what to add to your grocery list...which it can manage. Do the same with your fridge and soon you'll have a whole food status dashboard.

uh why not special touch capacitive coded sensors and pantry mounted IR cameras?

Humantity has been cooking for probably 2 million years... But no! We need an LLM to cook! * facepalm *
Things like cooking books, free Internet articles, magazines, YouTube videos, etc. Ask a friend or that good looking neighbor that loves to cook...
Mochila-Mochila@reddit
Where do you think the LLM is drawing its suggestions from ?
srigi@reddit
Humanity is cooked!
HopePupal@reddit
aw, let OP have their fun. it's goofy, but whatever reason they're cooking for, they're still cooking. it's not like the LLM's doing the work. plus the electricity usage is probably tiny in comparison to how much their stove draws.
Dany0@reddit
the trick is to tell it to search the internet for recipes with these exact ingredients ;)

Try an AMD GPU, those run at 105C, for some nice seared steaks?

I misread the title and then I was disappointed OP didn’t sell LLM tokens to others and opened a stall to cook with the excessive heat…
(That $10 per minute server tripped me a bit…)
Ne00n@reddit (OP)
10$/m for 64gig DDR4 quite a deal though.
ProfessionalSpend589@reddit
I used to do the same by browsing Wikipedia articles about meals: by country, by type, by cooking method, etc…
And the my personal category - cook with only a spoon and a pot or some other restriction.

I could hook a water tank behind my fans and sous vide some chicken.

i have a meal planning skill that uses my recipe app (Mealie), the season, and my preferences/calendar availabilty to generate a weekly meal plan, schedule cooking nights on free evenings, and adds ingredients to my shopping list.
just need a webcam in my fridge lol

Now, generate a few recipes and create a web UI featuring a spinning Wheel of Fortune. Tell the AI to guess which recipe is most likely to give you food poisoning, and style that option on the wheel. From now on, you have a food poisoning gambling addiction app for providing cooking recipes.
