That's why Microsoft and all of the OEMs announced localized AI models that run on the new NVIDIA CPU on laptops.

I don't think these small models are really that powerful yet and I don't really like the direction of per device localized models baked in to the OS. To wimpy and untrustworthy.

I want claude power, in a box, at my house, for my entire family completely compartmentalized from my operating system.

This is still a six-figure commitment, possibly high five.

How do you know this and what does it really cost. Those numbers make no sense to me.

The cost of RAM and size of models. For Kimi K2.6 you need 2TB RAM. That’s $40k with DDR5. If you want it to run at the speeds you’re accustomed to with Claude, you need HBM memory, which costs more.

Practically speaking, you need to sink $250k+ into a 8x B200 node. So yeah, 6 figures to run properly. High 5 figures if you’re okay with really slow responses.

Wow these economics really make zero sense long term if they don't get more efficient.
