The VRAM wall broke on a $1,600 GPU — and Apple Silicon walked through it without noticing
A community benchmark served a ~125B mixture-of-experts model at up to 250k context on a single 24GB RTX 4090 by streaming expert weights from system RAM. The technique is real and it generalizes — and on unified-memory Macs there is no offload dance at all, which is exactly what a rented compute node gives an agent that needs a big, long-context, single-tenant endpoint.
