Yes - I'm able to run Llama 3.1 405B on 3x A6000 + 3x 4090.

Will have Llama 4 Maverick running in 4bit quantization (typically results in only minor quality degradation) once llama.cpp support is merged.

Total hardware cost well under $50,000.

The 2T Behemoth model is tougher, but enough Blackwell 6000 Pro cards (16) should be able to run it for under $200k.

I've been on the receiving end of this - as an individual maybe, but as a committed startup not necessarily. Rooting for them!

This small risk of something very bad sounds like a case where insurance against this could be a win-win. "Pay a % of your increased earnings, and we cover any litigation related to your non-compete."

He was a driver full-time for 2 years.

When the driver is not on a trip, we turn on both apps. When they are on a trip, we turn off the app not in use.

We have a bunch of the top influencers in the on-demand space helping promote.

We've thought about pitching in the car but the cost doesn't work out.
