I'm still sanguine that 1.58 BITNET models take off. Those could plausibly run at good clip on existing CPUs, no GPU needed.

Super basic medium article for those not in know

~~Necessity~~ spite is usually a good driver...though given BITNET is Microsoft IP....ehh...I won't hold my breath for too long. Still waiting for their 70B model to drop... maybe this year....
