"Free-range tokens": the viral riff on cage-free compute and batch-size-1 dreams
jwt0625 · x · 2026-10-05
A widely shared comedic manifesto imagining a future of abundant energy and compute: today's tokens are "caged" in 1-GPU slices at max batch size and near-unity utilization. The dream: "pasture-raised tokens" where a full NVL576 cluster spins up for your dumb question, weights roam and re-shard freely across scale-up interconnects, and KV cache migrates wherever it pleases. "No token was ever batched. Certified Humane."
