The game changer technology that'll enable full 1TB+ LLM models for cheap is Sandisk's High Bandwidth Flash. Expect devices with that in about 3-4 years, maybe even on cellphones.

I'm crazy excited for High Bandwidth Flash, really hope they pull it off. There is a huge caveat: only having a couple hundred or thousand r/w cycles before your multi $k accelerator stops working!! A pretty big constraint!

But as long as you are happy to keep running the same model, the wins here for large capacity & high bandwidth are sick ! And the affordability could be exceptional! (If you can afford to make flash with a hundred or so channels at a decent price!)
