How rough was the switch? I can’t imagine changing all my accounts that use my Gmail address, but I’d like to move to something else.

Lucky you! I need to check my university’s current GPU power but sadly my thesis won’t be needing that kind of horsepower, so I won’t be able to give it a try unless I pay AWS or someone else for it on my own dime.

nVidia’s new Digits workstation, while expensive from a consumer standpoint, should be a great tool for local inferencing research. $3000 for 128GB isn’t a crazy amount for a university or other researcher to spend, especially when you look at the price of the 5090.

In fairness, unless you have about 800GB of VRAM/HBM you’re not running true Deepseek yet. The smaller models are Llama or Qwen distilled from Deepseek R1.

I’m really hoping Deepseek releases smaller models that I can fit on a 16GB GPU and try at home.
