My only concern is that they'll sell out so quickly for so long that I'll have to wait for the iPhone Duo Two-o because they won't be easy to get until like May 2027.

150 tokens per second on a ternary model implies that it’s GPU bound, I’d bet a Q6 model is even faster because it’s existed longer and seen more optimization. You’d have to be insane to not run an NVFP4 quant over a ternary quant on Blackwell if they both fit.

Elon fucking Musk has literally every single piece of personal information of every person in the country. It’s so far past too late for any of this to matter.

I’m not sure how we start over but this data plus LLMs is gonna make it a full time job to keep your parents from sending every penny to a scammer.

Local frontier costs a half million dollars to run locally in anything higher than basically ternary.

Okay, that's technically true again, but local mid-tier like Qwen3.8-27B is only a year behind the closed frontier. I'm personally willing to be behind by a year if it gives me mental sovereignty against the big AI companies. They are extremely misaligned with me.

I can’t run a corruption racket in my basement.

It's still a 15B market for Nvidia, it's not nothing. But I'm curious how they're going to turn Rubin into a gaming GPU. I think at this point consumer GPU upgrades are going to be AI-related upgrades that happen to also help raster capabilities. Blackwell was already kind of a dud on performance uplift from Ada beyond the new LLM features.

That 15B also includes people buying 5090s for local LLMs.

And it’s maybe 5-10% of their revenue at lower profit margins.

Consumer cards just don’t matter very much to nVidia anymore.

In 2020 it was half of their revenue.

Hermes still makes saddles that are somewhat reasonably priced compared to their handbags.

It's still profitable, it's their original raison d'etre, and there's no real reason for them to stop even if it its rounding error on their regular business.

Probably will never, ever see an Nvidia card with >32GB of VRAM though unless they start making dies that lack LLM performance like the gimped ethereum mining cards.

Still impacts macOS 27 release candidate.

Yes, but it didn't kernel panic my computer, it just forced WindowServer to quit, but it "helpfully" reopens all of your windows/apps, so it reloads the tab that caused the deadlock to begin with, rinse and repeat.

It's always funny to me when you put computers into such states. Last time I was tickled this was was when I nuked the TCC database permissions for Zoom while in a meeting, sharing my screen, using my microphone and camera. The OS rrrrreally didn't like that.

The title says "freeze a mac".

Tried it on my Blackberry too, also nothing. I say it's a nothingburger.

It’s not an iOS bug to begin with.

The cursor acquisition just shows that there’s always a dumber shithead out there. Though vaporizing Elon Musks money is about as pure of a good as there is out there these days.

Improvements in models and products coming out of SpaceXAI since the acquisition would seem to disagree with you.

I’m pretty sure the efficiency cores in the A20 Pro have more juice than the performance cores in my M1 Pro laptop.

NVFP4 would buy them a huge increase in capacity but I think it would be noticeable.

Why doesn't someone just try to measure this next time!?

Can't really measure without being sure you aren't being messed around with, when it's a remote platform. Stupidly easy to detect when people run such benchmarks/tests against you as well.
