Local open-weight AI on a laptop has been improving more than twice as fast as Moore's Law!
Between May 2024 and May 2026, the most expensive MacBook Pro you could buy stayed at 128 GB of unified memory. The hardware ceiling barely moved.
But the smartest open-weight model from @huggingface you could actually run on it went from a score of 10 (Llama 3 70B) to 47 (DeepSeek V4 Flash on @antirez's mixed-Q2 GGUF) on the @ArtificialAnlys Intelligence Index.
That is 4.7× in 24 months, or a doubling of intelligence every 10.7 months. Moore's Law (transistor count) doubles every 24 months. Local open-weight AI on a laptop has been improving more than twice as fast as Moore's Law, on completely unchanged hardware.
Man, what the hell. That's a few years salary for most of the world donated in under 24 hours.
I promise I will do everything in my power to make this worth it for all of you.
Putting out a wish to the universe.
I need more compute, if I can get more I will make sure every machine from a small phone to a bootstrapped RTX 3090 node can run frontier intelligence fast with minimal intelligence loss.
I have hit page 2 of huggingface, released 3 model family compressions and got GLM-4.7 on a MacBook https://t.co/lorDSUEYCL
My beast just isn’t enough and I already spent 2k usd on renting GPUs on top of credits provided by Prime intellect and Hotaisle.

If you believe in what I do help me get this to Nvidia, maybe they will bless me with the pewter to keep making local AI more accessible 🙏

A lot of people have been asking if this can be done for their dogs and for people. I'm speaking with everyone involved to see what is possible here.

this is actually insane
> be tech guy in australia
> adopt cancer riddled rescue dog, months to live
> not_going_to_give_you_up.mp4
> pay $3,000 to sequence her tumor DNA
> feed it to ChatGPT and AlphaFold
> zero background in biology
> identify mutated proteins, match them to drug targets
> design a custom mRNA cancer vaccine from scratch
> genomics professor is “gobsmacked” that some puppy lover did this on his own
> need ethics approval to administer it
> red tape takes longer than designing the vaccine
> 3 months, finally approved
> drive 10 hours to get rosie her first injection
> tumor halves
> coat gets glossy again
> dog is alive and happy
> professor: “if we can do this for a dog, why aren’t we rolling this out to humans?”
one man with a chatbot, and $3,000 just outperformed the entire pharmaceutical discovery pipeline.
we are going to cure so many diseases.
I dont think people realize how good things are going to get
@levelsio MCP isn't dead it's a necessary protocol in regulated areas. What is hilarious is you taking some move by Perplexity as proof of anything 🤣
That's like Yahoo weighing in on the state of internet search
