the TT-QuietBox Blackhole comes with

> 512 GB DDR5 ECC
> 4 TB NVMe
> ASRock Rack SIENAD8‑2L2T w/ 2x 10 GbE + IPMI
> 4x Blackhole p150c cards, totalling:

> 64 “big” RISC-V cores
> 128 GB GDDR6
> 840 MB On‑Chip SRAM
> 3.2 Tb/s Ethernet mesh
> 16x QSFP‑DD 800G ports for card⇔card comms
> 8x passive direct‑attach copper (DAC) cables (0.6m)
> all of this is powered by a single
> 1650W Platinum PSU, passively cooled

daisy‑chain the DACs and you’re all set, add more boxes and enjoy the 3.2 Tb/s ethernet mesh that pools memory and scales almost linearly
pretty sleek hardware UX, more soon

GLM 4.5 Air running in ~60tok/sec on 4x 3090!
3090s are still great cards to buy if you want to run inference with 100b models, locally, for your own use

Secular shifts are powerful. No need to be early to capitalize on massive gains. Cloud computing, social media, streaming content, etc etc.
And now AI. When ChatGPT debuted (Nov. 2022), NVDA quickly 3x'd in 8 months. It then consolidated and did nothing for the next 6 months. That's well over a year to analyze, research, absorb data. Watch how the narrative unfolds.
Since then, NVDA has 3.5x'd (with a few major drawdowns along the way). Second derivative rates may have finally peaked, but capex, tokens, API calls, etc are still growing. Models are being trained on ever larger clusters, with the latest chips (i.e. Blackwell).
The party will need further advancement, uptake, monetization to keep going, but hard to say with any conviction yet whether it is over or not.

who here would like to see a build video guide for multiple RTX PRO 6000s?
already got the hardware ordered for a couple of 3090s and 5090s build guides btw
yes, there'll be GPU giveaways ;)
first video guide before Thanksgiving
anyway, Buy a GPU keeps on winning

Couldn't decide, so we are doing two idea threads: a Japan only, and a special sit only. Lesss go! https://t.co/5NiyqPdEnZ

Ok, guys. It's been about a month since the last idea thread. What's a good prompt for the next one? I will pick the best one and use that. tweet
