Colibrì runs 1.5TB AI model on just 25GB RAM, hints at local AI future
A proof-of-concept called Colibrì runs a 1.5-trillion-parameter AI model using only 25GB of RAM and a modest CPU. The technique compresses the model's weights and activations, enabling frontier-level performance on consumer hardware. It suggests that large models could soon run locally without expensive GPUs.
Meridian48 take
The approach is promising but still a proof-of-concept; real-world latency and accuracy trade-offs remain unproven.
