Doubtful, local models are the competitive future that will keep prices down.
reply128GB is all you need.
A few more generations of hardware and open models will find people pretty happy doing whatever they need to on their laptop locally with big SOTA models left for special purposes. There will be a pretty big bubble burst when there aren't enough customers for $1000/month per seat needed to sustain the enormous datacenter models.
Apple will win this battle and nvidia will be second when their goals shift to workstations instead of servers.
Weird how you're leaving stuff like Strix Halo out. Also weird you think 128gb is the future with all of the research done to reduce that to something around 12GB being a target with all of these papers out now. I assume we'll end up with less general purpose models and more specific small ones swapped out for whatever work you are asking to do.

replyMy guy, look around.
They are coming for personal compute.
Where are you going to get these 128GBs? Aquaman? [0]
The ones who make RAM are inexplicably attaching their fate to the future being all LLMs only everywhere.
Cloud can’t make money off of you and pay more than you for the hardware at the same time.
replyMore like RAM producers are providing supplies to the highest bidder, no? If this doesn't peter out supply will normalize at a higher but less insane price eventually.
