    I know everyone wants to crap all over these setups that are impractical, but this is how progress happens.

    People will keep plugging away at this and figure out how to avoid wearing the hard drive, how to make it run faster, custom hardware buses etc.

    Keep going! I personally can't wait for the day when a 1t param model runs off a $200 SSD instead of a $50k rack of Nvidia chips.

      There are certain physical limits. Calculations need to be done. Either less calculations are necessary for the intelligence, or u accept less intelligence. But there is a limit in what u can do with specific hardware.
