The primary constraint for running large language models is not computational power but GPU memory capacity. As models grow in size and context windows expand, the demand for VRAM increases significantly, impacting both local inference and cloud costs. The current hardware market, particularly with shortages and rising costs of high-bandwidth memory (HBM3E), exacerbates this issue, making it more expensive and difficult to access the necessary memory for running advanced models. AI
IMPACT GPU memory capacity is becoming a more significant factor than raw compute power for LLM performance and cloud cost predictions.
