@Tfmonkey @VooDooMedic Stop spreading false information. Kimi K3 needs 2.7 TB of VRAM to run. That is 2700GB Of ram, where a high end GPU will have 96 GB of VRAM.
K3 is a great model, that is on Claude Fable level. But you cannot run it locally. Maybe in 3 years on an Apple M7 Max with 3 TB of Unified Memory. That device will cost 70kUSD.

proof of concept once this catches on and companies that manage OpenCode / Claude / Hermes actually get their teeth into it, it's gonna be a whole new fucking world my man yes trying to fit a model into VRAM requires insane amounts of hardware, however we aren't fitting in into vram just watch the video it explains it better
I Got it from newsletter from the framework laptop
“… In addition to bringing in the new Ryzen AI Max PRO 495+ processor, it uses slightly faster 8533 MT/s memory, has an open-end x4 PCIe slot to make it easier to plug in 50Gbps NICs for clustering, and optionally comes with Linux pre-loaded...”
It can run deepseek 4 flash locally, and it has rather fast memory controller up to 192 GB Ram,
Much slower than apple but it’s a start.
Apples memory is on the cpu die.
