i am not saying the desire to be uncoupled from token vendors is unreasonable, but you can rent cloud GPUs and run these models there. running on your own hardware is what seems a little fantastical at least for a reasonable TPS
Stop giving infinite power to these rent-seeking ghouls! Be grateful that open models / open source and semi-affordable personal computing still exists, and support it.
Pertinent example: imagine if two Strix Halo machines (2x128 GB) can run this model locally over fast ethernet. Wouldn't that be cool, compared to trying to get 256 GB of Nvidia-based VRAM in the cloud / on a subscription / whatever terms Nv wants?
