   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.

      This is progress in the same way that a man climbing a tree is making progress toward reaching the moon.

      This project is essentially the MoE-of-the day, with some platform-related optimizations.

      That won't happen. Projects like this just give the illusion that that will be possible.

         Technically, this can happen. Politically, this won't be allowed to happen - just like digital media ownership never happened.
