The Steam Machine's AMD platform looks like an upgraded PlayStation 5 or the BC-250. Zen2->4, RDNA2->3, but only 28 CUs down from PS5's 36/60. This is an AMD package focused on affordability.
8GB VRAM will be limiting, but the 16GB of system RAM suggests more general purpose use.

Anyway as a transgender computer systems engineer working on AI, what the F is this? No man or woman wants this. This is not allyship. Your purity test is conservatism.

The AI purity test is so incredibly problematic especially when you look closer at who and why.
Anyway, is this a high(low) score?

gpt-oss:120b doesn't know that it's an open weights model. It quickly and firmly stands to a safety mechanism that insists it cannot be run outside of OpenAI infrastructure.

gpt-oss:120b runs pretty well given the constraints. I'm *just* shy of having it fit entirely in my GPU memory but it still gets over 18tk/s. AMD Instinct mi210

The quiet drama between Grok and Groq is sending me, especially as I established commercial use of the GrokCloud mark for my pioneering cloud infrastructure service which operated until 2012.
