<p>The fusion of "64-bit architectures" and "64K total RAM machine" brings a bit of a smile to my face with projects with names like this.</p>

<p>If I could have shown up somewhere in 2022 with a Mac Studio M1 Max w/ 64GB of RAM running Qwen-3.6-27B or 35B-A3B, I would have pretty much been a demigod - to a degree far more impressive than being able to run Opus 5 locally today.<p>So yes, I think your scenario is likely to eventually happen, but there will be a much more powerful, capable frontier model then.</p>

<p>Yes, if this thing ever gets built, it will set a whole bunch of new records.<p>If it doesn't get built, it will still set a bunch of records; some of them probably quite infamous.<p>It is hard to describe the ridiculous scale they are trying to do there. For comparison, typical electrical demand is 17 GW and peaking to 25, with total generation capacity being 30 GW. That includes us-east-2, which is not a small data centre (consumes probably right around 2 GW, so represents about 10% of the state's power demand).<p>So they're talking about a project that would increase total power consumption in the state over 50%... in addition to building <i>multiple</i> nuclear power plants to fund it. Predicting 2,500 permanent jobs in a county of 27,000 total people, so that's a lot of people moving in.</p>

<p>The effort to support architectures is now minimal with AI assistance. I made a hobby architecture (based on Intel, but with some changes; I was making an "alternate history" as if a few decisions in the past had been different) and it was pretty much trivial to spit out support not just in gcc and llvm, but I also, for fun, made WATCOM backends and a few other things.<p>With that said, RISC-V is a nice baseline for designing another architecture. Start with RISC-V, and go from there.</p>

<p>I’m curious too, as ML is pretty amazing; LLMs are one application of ML; LLMs have a much narrower good set of uses than broad ML.<p>You can use LLMs for things they are a bad fit for. I know someone who uses it like a spreadsheet to add sums of numbers, etc.</p>

<p>Yes it is.<p>Non-investigating would be tasks like:<p>- counting the number of vehicles going by
- radar’ing every car to produce a report on how many people are speeding and how much
- checking all licence plates for valid registrations to produce a report on what percentage of cars have expired tags on the road.</p>
