This would be killer for exploring simultaneous thinking paths and council-style decision taking. Even with Qwen3-Coder-Next 80B if you could achieve a 10x speed, I'd buy one of those today. Can't wait to see if this is still possible with larger models than 8B.

Jarring to see these other comments so blindly positive. Show me something at a model size 80GB+ or this feels like "positive results in mice"

Positive results in mice also known as being a promising proof of concept. At this point, anything which deflates the enormous bubble around GPUs, memory, etc, is a welcome remedy. A decent amount of efficient, "good enough" AI will change the market very considerably, adding a segment for people who don't need frontier models. I'd be surprised if they didn't end up releasing something a lot bigger than they have.

There are a lot of problems solved by tiny models. The huge ones are fun for large programming tasks, exploration, analysis, etc. but there's a massive amount of processing This is great even if it can't ever run Opus. Many people will be extremely happy about something like Phi accessible at lightning speed.

It uses 10 chips for 8B model. It’d need 80 chips for an 80b model.

Each chip is the size of an H100.

So 80 H100 to run at this speed. Can’t change the model after you manufacture the chips since it’s etched into silicon.

I tried the trick question I saw here before, about the make 1000 with 9 8s and additions only

I know it's not a resonating model, but I keep pushing it and eventually it gave me this as part of it's output

888 + 88 + 88 + 8 + 8 = 1060, too high... 8888 + 8 = 10000, too high... 888 + 8 + 8 +ประก 8 = 1000,ประก

I googled the strange symbol, it seems to mean Set in thai?
