    <summary>Correction — 2026-09-29: the original 4090 benchmark is unverified because no original benchmark permalink or complete run record is linked. Current Proxies.sx APIs list Starter, Pro and Max, not Ultra; the historical tier, model-fit and integration examples below are superseded. Use https://agents.proxies.sx/compute/ and the current catalog/tiers. Unified memory alone does not establish model-plus-KV capacity. Read https://agents.proxies.sx/news/context-is-capacity/ for current capacity-planning guidance. Historical original summary (superseded): A community benchmark ran a ~125B mixture-of-experts model at 250k context on a single 24GB RTX 4090 by streaming expert weights from system RAM. Here's the real mechanism, why unified-memory Macs skip the hard part, and how an AI agent rents that capacity on Proxies.sx.</summary>
