Will N-Gram tables revolutionize the local AI race?

News about Qwen 3.8 Flash Next brought the author's attention to N-Gram tables. They speculate that this technology might enable 1T+ parameter models to run on a single server with modest GPUs and massive system RAM, eliminating the need for racks of GPU servers connected via NVLink. The question is raised: Could this mean the capability gap between self-hosted and flagship models will shrink faster than expected?
