We're supposedly getting Mac Studio with 1.5Tb RAM in 2 years. That would be enough to run an Opus-level model.

Of course, it will also probably cost somewhere around $50k...

But if local AI really does become pervasive, maybe it'll be one of the things people buy on credit, like cars.

Whats to stop people remotely accesssing this? People already do this when working remotely in finance - they connect to a virtual environment that does their work in spreadsheets lmao. nobody cares about the lag, managers certainly dont care about sub-ordinates complaining about it - the same way nobody will care about a slight loss of quality if the economics make sense. frontier labs are screwed really.
