have at least 160GB of combined VRAM and system RAM.
Yeaaaah so it’s possible but at the same time not accessible ? Those things are fucking power hungry and now I get why we all needed to buy led things, 12 volts powered systems and switch off every standby device: AI !
And I dummy though innocently it was for the planet… 🥲

Lol the suggested hardware for usable performance is $50k for the GPUs alone and that’s an SXM5 socket so all proprietary extremely expensive and specific hardware.
My PC currently has a 7900 XTX which gives me about 156 GB combined VRAM, but it literally generates 1-3 words per second even at this level. DDR5 wouldn’t really help, because it’s a memory bandwidth issue.
TBH for most reasonable use cases 8 bit parameter size quantizations that can run on a laptop will give you more or less what you want.
It was maybe never for the planet. We accidentally got LED lights, but the entire effort may have been to provide a scapegoat for the energy issues the oil barons didnt want to address. Dig a bit and you’ll find some neat charts and timelines, and maybe you’ll wonder too whether it was all a smokescreen like the recycling thing sometimes resembles.
