Neat! This stuff should not run in data centers anyway. And it should not be gated and controlled by billionares.

    Training these models still requires massive data centers, and using any of them that at all compare to frontier models for inference requires large numbers of GPUs

    It does for now, but the methods for modifying an LLM are getting increasingly sophisticated. From blending models to doing brain surgery on them to fine tune the weights, there's a lot of new techniques being developed all the time

    There's also recently been a breakthrough that cut the ram requirement to 1/6, eventually someone is going to figure out how to train models orderes of magnitude more efficiently

    Especially once the AI bubble pops and no one is willing to dump billions into constant iterations
