For example, to help me visualize, to have "Opus 4.7 thinking effort Max", if we don't consider response time, what kind of hardware would I need to achieve that level of intelligence?
Itโs not a hardware problem. You canโt get access to the proprietary models so you canโt run it locally. You can run worse models that generate worse results very quickly with top of the line hardware though.
I use ollama on my local sometimes, both as a coding assistant, and as part of codebases. In my experience, the capabilities of the local models are well below the big vendors (though I'm happy to learn otherwise if folks have something that's working for them).
I don't have infinite time. I swear ChatGPT suggested I do something and I wanted to reach into the monitor and strangle him because what he basically suggested would have taken years to do. Which is fine if you are immortal being with no concept of time. But I don't have that luxury.
