Can we take this as an official statement that Nvidia supports local models?
Why would Nvidia increase GPU efficiency for local models? Surely they'll operate like athletes and only establish a new record from time to time when necessary.

- credit_guy 12d agoWhy would they not? The cost to do that is 0.000001% of whatever numbers they usually work with. The upside is that it creates a community of hobbyists, most of whom will us (consummer grade) Nvidia GPUs. Which are not a significant source of revenue for Nvidia anymore, but it’s nice to have a bit of insurance.

The first reply on the X thread is by Gerardo Delgado, who is "Sr. Director of Product - Local AI, Creators, Developers @NVIDIA" according to his profile. In his post, he says "My team's goal at NVIDIA is to grow Local AI."

Hedging against a data center bubble burst or at least massive pullback Trivial for them to cut margin on desktop cards and clean up/prop up falling data center sales serving the hungry gamer, blockchain, local AI that's been sitting on its hands the last year or two Nvidia is the PC ecosystem's best answer to Apple

- nikwen 12d agoMacs are great for running LLMs. Apple has been investing in their M-series chips and it's been paying off, including when it comes to AI.
