Parallax Focuses on Decentralized Compute Efficiency

[Reposted Content] Outlining the overall vision of @chutesai + Parallax:
- Achieving a "superlinear" boost in efficiency through the participation of more decentralized nodes.
- The goal is to enable larger models to be trained natively on smaller hardware and deployed natively on smaller hardware.
- A key selling point is avoiding the sacrifice of model quality for the sake of low-precision quantization.
