Too bad, I always saw Open Collective as one of the few options open-source developers (who are not supported by Big Tech) had to self-fund their work. Curious what people think are the best alternatives now? I can think of GitHub Sponsors

I would also love to see a consumer GPU with a lot of VRAM. I think 128 GB would be too expensive BUT I'm hoping the Nvidia 50 series comes with 32+ GB VRAM for at least the top tier cards of the family (today they max out at 24 GB VRA
