if it doesn't apply to you then just come back in a couple years and see what the situation is then. 1 million context window, 1 million tiny layers to fit in 4gb RAM at a time, with 256gb of fast unified RAM in every consumer device? Or a different concept entirely

in the meantime, z.ai probably doesn't reply to US subpoenas so you can shift all your incriminating conversations over to that and use GLM anyway. who cares if the Party trains on your data and steals your IP and ignores you for legal matters, when the alternative in the US is just a thin corporate layer and party who steals your IP and will snitch on you for legal matters.
