No mention of new limit.

In fact there is very little talk about new limit. But what they are doing seems impressive and important.

I was joking. Running an LLM on the C64. Loading it from the tape drive! I never had to and didn't feel like I'd missed anything by not participating in the 20 minute load by tape.

Folks... If token demand goes up 3x and vera Rubin boosts tokens per second by 7, then wouldn't you need less memory?

Or did I mess that up?

Also gpu speedup. If vera Rubin is 7x faster then to serve same number of tokens you need 1/7 the memory. Did I get that right?

Surprised nobody else brings this up, but then again I lived to 49 before I figured out what BPD was.
