I haven't super looked into it but I'm not interested in playing the GPU game against the gamers so if AMD can do a Tesla equivalent with gobs of RAM and no display hardware I'd be all about it.

Right now it's looking like I'm going to build a server with a pair of K80s off ebay for a hundred bucks which will give me 48GB of RAM to run models in.

Some of the LLMs it ships with are very reasonably sized and still be impressive. I can run them on a laptop with 32GB of RAM.

This is very interesting! Thanks for the link. I'll dig into this when I manage to have some time.
