(Replying to both siblings questioning this)

If the primary use case is input heavy, which is true of agentic tools, there’s a world where partial GPU offload with many channels of DDR5 system RAM leads to an overall better experience. A good GPU will process input many times faster, and with good RAM you might end up with decent output speed still. Seems like that would come in close to $12k?

And there would be no competition for models that do fit entirely inside that VRAM, for example Qwen3 32B.
