What price point are you trying to hit?

With regards to AI?. None tbh.

With this super fast storage I have other cool ideas but I don't think I can get enough bandwidth to saturate it.

    TBH, that might be enough. Stuff like SDXL runs on 4G cards (the trick is using ComfyUI, like 5-10s/it), smaller LLMs reportedly too (haven't tried, not interested). And the reason I'm eyeing a 9070 XT isn't AI it's finally upgrading my GPU, still would be a massive fucking boost for AI workloads.

    You’re willing to pay $none to have hardware ML support for local training and inference?

    Well, I’ll just say that you’re gonna get what you pay for.

    No, I think they're saying they're not interested in ML/AI. They want this super fast memory available for regular servers for other use cases.

    I have a hard time believing anybody wants AI. I mean, AI as it is being sold to them right now.

    I mean the image generators can be cool and LLMs are great for bouncing ideas off them at 4 AM when everyone else is sleeping. But I can't imagine paying for AI, don't want it integrated into most products, or put a lot of effort into hosting a low parameter model that performs way worse than ChatGPT without a paid plan. So you're exactly right, it's not being sold to me in a way that I would want to pay for it, or invest in hardware resources to host better models.
