Yeah cause every car needs 8xH200 pulling 10kW to run a VLM at realtime speeds. Would be unfortunate if 4G dropped out under some trees while using the API after all.

Power usage isn't an issue. 10 kW is 13 HP. The size, price, and fragility of the components is the issue.

When the models stop improving, we will get model-specific ASICs that are much more power-efficient.
