I've been watching the drizzle of LLM papers come through, and I think we're going to hit a 1T param MoE on consumer hardware before this year is out. It'll still be behind the bigco models, but it'll be a force multiplier. Ideally, we'd get these models to run on a CPU. MS BitNet is one way to do this. You can already run ternary LLMs on consumer CPUs with a decent tps.
