Should You Buy Intel ARC PRO B50 GPU for Local AI? Hermes Agent?

It's been just about one year since Intel released their most interesting "pro" local AI gpu, the Arc Pro B50. At the time this was an un-proven GPU with seemingly limited use cases but it's turned out to showcase one of Intel's biggest wins with local AI enthusiasts looking for a great option to run agentic tasks and great compatibility with homelabs / linux. It might not be the fastest, but it competes with the nVidia 5060ti 16gb and 5070FE and is currently one of the cheapest GPU's with 16gb of VRAM available.
