I am no where near an expert on this subject, and this information is from a few months ago so maybe it's outdated, but people on Reddit[1] are claiming running the llama with 65B parameters would need like 20K+ of GPUs.

I'll let others chime in but you could still probably build something really powerful within your budget that is able to run various AI tasks.
