Not sure it will beat Sonet at Q4.

For $3500 I can get 7-8 years of GLM using coding plans, have a faster model and much better code quality.

Very valid. Importance-weighted quantization and TurboQuant on model weights can reduce loss a lot compared to "traditional" Q4 so one can be hopeful.

But you will own no computer, and that's also assuming prices stay what they are. Anyway my point was not whether or not it makes financial sense for everyone. A lot of people are very happy not owning their movies, software, games, cars or house. I'm just happy there is a future where the people can own and locally run the tech that was trained on their stolen data.
