It's hardly schizophrenic, unless you're suffering from the cognitive dissonance of assuming Apple cares about privacy. But sure, here's a version written by a well-known Apple toady explaining in-detail why this is bad and c

Well, that's your call. If you're the sort of person that's willing to spend $2,000 on a M4 Ultra (which doesn't quite exist yet but we can pretend it does), then I honest to god do not understand why you'd refuse t

It's a bit of a moot point when CUDA will run 4 3060Tis in parallel, with further options for paging out to system memory. Since most models (particularly bigger/MOE ones) are sparsely decoded, you can get quite a lot of mileage o

I don't think you're going to find much of a guide out there because there isn't really a need for one. You just need a Linux client with the Nvidia drivers installed and some form of CUDA runtime present. You could make that

I don't think people are scornful of your work. It makes me happy to hear that people still find meaningful employment within their means of living. It's increasingly rare that someone is paid to do something impactful these days.
