Plus, the hardware to run a full sized LLM is expensive

It's a regular gaming PC. Are you going to dismiss all gamers as "millionaires"?

I specifically said "full sized", a pc with modern gpu and more than 32gb of vram is not a regular computer that most gamers have access to. If you are running a 7B model on a gtx 1080 or even an rtx 3060, you are not running a full LLM like the ones you would get from a subscription service

Yes, I know. You're saying that a 32GB graphics card is millionarie hardware? You've got a weird view of the cost of these things.

It's an analogy, it must be similar in principle, not in numbers. A subscription to chatgpt also costs less than what gamblers spend in slots. But whatever, I don't care enough to argue much more
