N-gram tables could enable massive AI models on single servers

A discussion on Reddit explores the potential impact of n-gram tables on the AI landscape. The user speculates that n-gram tables could enable the operation of models with over a trillion parameters on single servers with substantial RAM and modest GPUs, rather than requiring extensive GPU server clusters. This could potentially accelerate the narrowing of the capability gap between self-hosted and flagship AI models. AI

IMPACT This technology could democratize access to large-scale AI models, potentially reducing reliance on expensive, high-end hardware.
