Finally, a computer that should be able to run Monster Hunter Wilds with decent performance.

But let’s be real, 12k is kinda pushing it - what kind of people are gonna spend $65k or even $10M (lmao WTAF) on a boutique thing like this. I dont think these kinds of things go in datacenters (happy to be corrected) and they are way too expensive (and probably way too HOT) to just go in a home or even an office “closet”.

There's some irony in the fact that this website reads as extremely NOT AI-generated, very human in the way it's designed and the tone of its writing. Still, this is a great idea, and one I hope takes off. I think there's a good argument that the future of AI is in locally-trained models for everyone, rather than relying on a big company's own model. One thought: The ability to conveniently get this onto a 240v circu…

If you’re spending $65,000 on this thing, needing two circuits seems like a minor problem

exabox - 720x RDNA5 AT0 XL 25,920 GB VRAM 23,040 GB System RAM ~ $10 Million Who is the target market here?

I can't find sources but I think they are building it for Comma.ai (geohot's other company) so that Comma can scale up their training datacenter.

A typical U.S. 240V circuit is actually just two 120V circuits. Fairly trivial to rewire for that.

Sound like solid prebuilt with well balanced components and a pretty case Not revolutionary in any way, but nice. Unless I'm missing something here?

It's pretty close to what people have been frankenbuilding on r/LocaLLaMa... It's nice to have a prebuild option.

Tiny boxes are already several years old IIRC
