Why would anyone want free software to win? Dont most of us here draw an income from software that’s explicitly not free?

Look at what they need to mimic a fraction of our power (TRAMP)

That one can handle up to 200B parameters according to NVIDIA.
That's a shame. I suppose you'll need 4 of them with RDMA to run a 671B, but somehow that seems better to me than trying to run it on DDR4 RAM like the OP is saying. I have a system with 230G of DDR4 RAM, and running even small models on it is atrociously slow.

Or just wait for the NVIDIA Digits PC later this year which will cost the ~same amount and can fit on your desk

But then it isn’t “internal”…
It’s too hard to determine what pieces of your stack interact with public-facing services, particularly in a monorepo with thousands of developers. The effort involved and the legal risk if you get it wrong makes it an easy nope. Just ban AGPL.

Embrace, extend, extinguish. it could take about a century, but every software company (hardware maybe next century) is in the process of being swallowed by free software. Thats not to say people can’t carve out a niche and have balling corporate retreats for a while.. until the sleeping giant wakes up and rolls over you.
Free software basically only exists because it’s subsidized by nonfree software. It also has no original ideas. Every piece of good free software is just a copy of something proprietary or some internal tool.

The hello world example does not work. In fact, no website I've tried works. It's usually always panics. For the example in the readme, the errors are:
```

That's Zig for you. A ``modern'' systems programming language with no borrow checker or even RAII.

Why didn't you just fork Chromium and strip out the renderer? This is guaranteed to bitrot when the web standards change unless you keep up with it forever and have perpetual funding. Yes, modifying Chromium is hard, but this seems harder.
