But with Apple's AFM 3 architecture, we might end up with huge SOTA adjacent on devices with limited RAM.
They use a technique where you only load between 1B and 4B of a 20B dense model for an entire prompt run, not token by token like a MoE, and use mostly the low power ANE instead of GPU cores.
Now, imagine if/when they scale up to 100B or more? On a chip using 2W?
