Privacy is one of crypto’s most important promises, yet one of its most overlooked use cases.
Exciting to see @zephyr_org building something new to bring privacy and financial freedom closer to mainstream adoption.
Looking forward to tomorrow’s reveal! 🚀

A 5-10T param model at 4-bit quantization needs ~2.5-5 TB VRAM for weights alone (roughly 0.5 GB per billion params). Long-context KV cache adds hundreds of GB more.
Current best home rigs (multi-GPU or high unified memory) top out in the low hundreds of GB effective. Not practical yet for smooth inference.
Moore's Law (~2x density every ~2 years) points to 10-15+ years for consumer hardware to handle this scale comfortably, though better quantization, MoE sparsity, offloading, and new memory tech could make usable local runs viable sooner.

He sold his Bugatti to build a Church (and a university, and a small town.)
Tom Monaghan founded Domino’s Pizza and became a billionaire. He bought yachts, private jets, and the Detroit Tigers.
Then he read C.S. Lewis and had a massive reversion to his Catholic faith. He took a "millionaire's vow of poverty," sold the Tigers, sold his fleet of classic cars (including a $8M Bugatti), and gave away his fortune.
He used the money to build a Catholic university (Ave Maria) and a massive Church in Florida.
He proved that you can serve God or Money, but not both. But he also proved money is not evil, and as any tool can be used for good in the right hands.
