> the weights of the model—which you have to sell many million times over before you turn a profit—easily fits on contemporary pocket-sized storage devices.
Which model is this author talking about? Which pocket-sized devices? Where can I get them? No one is using Gemma 4 to find cybersecurity issues.
Edit: there are a lot of sentences that I can't distinguish from sarcasm in this article. I guess I read it too seriously.
He’s talking about storage required for the weights. Not actually running the model.
A large model like Kimi 3 should be something like, 1-2TB? That’s a pocket size hard drive
There are even 2 TB USB thumb drives.
It would even be common for phones to have 2 or more TB integrated had we not been co-opted to move all our data into the cloud.
Not with the current AI craziness :( We won’t see phones with good storage before a while given the current (completely insane) hardware prices
