> I am very excited for local LLMs I think we may have GPT 5.5-xhigh level of performance for under 2000 EUR

We are maybe 10 years off that.

RAM prices are going to continue to increase for the next 2 years at least.

Even putting that aside it's currently around 40-70,000 EUR to run this with a FP8 quantization (which you need to get close to maximum performance).

To actually get GPT 5.5-xhigh performance in the real world you need more headroom to support things like subagents (which will fill up your KV cache).

I like local models but realism is important. The sweet spot for the next 3 years will continue to be ~35B MoE models. They might match GPT 5.5-xhigh for chat-style problems but not for coding.

I wonder, if in the near future any acquisitions of some RAM producers with intent to just keep RAM prices up, will happen from the AI companies. It could seriously hurt their business, if companies will be able to host their AI in some time.
