My 2.5 year old laptop can write Space Invaders in JavaScript now (GLM-4.5 Air)

A $xxxx 2.5 year old laptop, one that's probably much more powerful than an average laptop bought today and probably next year as well. I don't think it's a fair reference point.

His point isn't that you can run a model on an average laptop, but that the same laptop can still run frontier models.

It speaks to the advancements in models that aren't just throwing more compute/ram at it.

Also, his laptop isn't that fancy.

> It claims to be small enough to run on consumer hardware. I just ran the 7B and 13B models on my 64GB M2 MacBook Pro!
