Don't worry, greytree. I understood that this is heavily ironic. Sorry you're getting the clueless responses.

With all the subtlety of a SJW or alt-right youtuber. Clueless-in, clueless out.

Lets start by acknowledging that Facebook is evil (despite cool stuff like pytorch and llama).
New Mexico has only 2 million people, and $25B is more than enough to pay all their debts and unfunded liabilities. Brilliant move!
  But extrapolation $25B on a per capita basis to other states applying similar taxes and you get a total of four trillion dollars [evil laugh] . Is that sustainable?

Even Meta does not have that much, so they'd better get in quick.
Q: Why on Earth is the US still using juries for civil cases, when it is clearly stupid? is this related to pennies and the customary units?

My intuition says that the network linking the two machines would be a bottleneck, but I don't know if that's a minor performance problem or a major one.

RAM bandwidth is the bottleneck, so one machine would actually be slower.

Apple Machine Learning Research published the following decode speeds for the NVFP4 checkpoint at an 8,192-token context (generating 128 tokens):
- Two Mac Studios, pipeline parallelism: 15.74 tokens/s
- Two Mac Studios, tensor parallelism: 24.99 tokens/s
- Four Mac Studios, tensor parallelism: 36.73 tokens/s

Mac unified memory is still slow compared to a NVidia GPU, but the MoE design makes it possible to run a large model.
The 1TB mac cluster is the price of a Tesla, while the NVidia rack will set you back the price of a Ferrari.
