Buying GPUs for learning quantization and inference, not just to replace APIs
max_paperclips · x · 2026-09-01
Hikari07jp shared that buying a GPU isn't about replacing LLM APIs to save costs, but about experimenting with techniques like quantization and learning inference optimization. This is viewed as a ten-year investment where the knowledge gained is already useful professionally and will pay off as models evolve.
