This fits Gorgon Halo, which is a reasonably priced platform. It would be slow, but still usable for high-value tasks.
Excuse me, could you elaborate how you came up with 192GB of RAM? I almost thought they downsized model, but it's still 2.8T tokens. Are we talking about not-yet-out 1-bit quant or assumption that something like ds4 (daskstar, not deepseek) will heavily optimize it?
Not a trolling question, genuine interest.
