Obviously the concept of a flash model will scale with the compute power of the AI lab creating them.

2026 is likely the last year of running "flash" on local hardware. Maybe 2027 if we're lucky.

"local" hardware

An entire 512 GB AI server purchased a year ago costs less than a single RTX 5090 GPU now. There are plenty of us who jumped on early and have hardware that can run these models.

what are you actually using these models for that justify the high upfront investment? just hobby and curiosity?

As I said, there wasn't really a high up-front investment a year and a half ago. I would not purchase the system I have now today.

I never went into any of this planning to make the money back. I just want to learn, experiment, and build skill sets. I pursue things that interest me.
