I suspect this machine will be popular with hobbyists for running really large open weight LLMs.

Yeah.

It will probably spur a lot of development! I've seen a lot of bs=1 speedup "hacks" shelved because GPUs are fast enough, and memory efficiency is the real bottleneck. But suddenly all these devs are going to have a 48GB-96GB pool that's significantly slower than a 3090. And multimodal becomes much more viable.

Not to speak of better ROCM compatibility. AMD should have done this ages ago...
