Sure, to approach frontier model quality locally we need to have more power. And H200s are a way to get there.

However, we need to use the tools that we have. Even if I wanted to buy a (bunch of) H200 for me and my colleagues and could get the expense approved, they are hard to source where we are.

Yes. You can rent them, but I’m not sure how that affects the IP discussion.

Moreover, not everyone is doing coding and video so we have different tasks that can fit quite well on relatively light laptops (Gemma et al), for relatively directed coding sessions we can make do with RTX cards, or a small step up, all the way to H200 in the workstation. Or pods thereof.

We have the graphics cards and laptops with MLX right now. The H200 will take a year at least to arrive. Better get used to run stuff locally.
