dear open labs, and i mean this with love. you keep dropping these trillion parameter giants and they're genuinely beautiful and i can't run a single one of them, none of us can, they land on huggingface to a standing ovation and then they just sit there, because the only machines that can load them are the same datacenters we were all trying to get free of. i watched local ai turn into something real this year, people running 27b models on one gaming card, an 8gb board doing work that needed a server a year ago, whole little communities forming around whatever fits on the hardware already sitting on the desk, and that's the part that actually reaches people, the revolution nobody's putting on a keynote slide. so here's the fair ask, give us the 40b dense, give us the 120b moe, the sizes a person with one good card or a 128gb box at home can actually hold and run and learn from and build on, because not everything has to be shaped for an enterprise with a rack to spare. the frontier is thrilling and i'll keep cheering every open weight you ship, i mean that, but the ground is where most of us live and the ground is quietly running out of models it can lift. build for the hardware we already own. that's where the next wave comes from, it always was. with love, from someone running yours on a laptop at midnight.
