>The model absolutely can be run at home.

There is a huge difference between "look I got it to answer the prompt: '1+1='"

and actually using it for anything of value.

I remember early on people bought Macs (or some marketing team was shoveling it), and proposing people could reasonably run the 70B+ models on it.

They were talking about 'look it gave an answer', not 'look this is useful'.

While it was a bit obvious that 'integrated GPU' is not Nvidia VRAM, we did have 1 mac laptop at work that validated this.

Its cool these models are out in the open, but its going to be a decade before people are running them at a useful level locally.

Hear, hear. Even if the model fits, a few tokens per second make no sense. Time is money too.
