AI or servers probably. I have 40gb and that's what I would need more ram for.

I'm still salty because I had the idea of going cpu & ram sticks for AI inference literally days before the big AI companies. And my stupid ass didn't buy them in time before the prices skyrocketed. Fuck me I guess.

    It does work, but it's not really fast. I upgraded to 96gb ddr4 from 32gb a year or so ago, and being able to play with the bigger models was fun, but it's not something I could do anything productive with it was so slow.

    You can have applications where wall clock tine time is not all that critical but large model size is valuable, or where a model is very sparse, so does little computation relative to the size of the model, but for the major applications, like today's generative AI chatbots, I think that that's correct.
