1 - So GLM 5.2 is 700b parameters (ish)
2 - 4x DGX Sparks can supposedly handle up to 700b parameters (give or take)
3 - GLM 5.2 is supposedly in striking distance of the performance of GPT 5.5 and Opus 4.8. In my brief tests, it's really not shabby at all.
4 - So for $20k, you can get near the frontier on your table.
5 - Extrapolate the trend, and you could have mythos/5.5 pro - class models in your dining room for the cost of a cheap car less than five years from now. Even without extrapolation, we're already the near frontier running locally.
6 - Paying real api costs, I could easily blow through $3,000 per month coding and running agents. The machine pays for itself in 6-7 months conservatively.
7 - In 3-5 years, most power users of AI will self-host.
8 - Am I missing something?
