Trying to do that with an M1 laptop of 32 GB and it's hard to get even 1000 euro's for it in the Netherlands whereas the refurbished price is at double of that.
Maybe this "backup" solution.. developed into commodity hardware as an affordable open source solution that keeps the model and code locally and private at all times is the actual solution we need.
Lets say a cluster of raspberry pi's / low powered devices producing results as good as claude 3.7-sonnet. Would it be completely infeasible to create a custom model that is trained on your own code base and might not be a fully fledged LLM but provides similar features to cursor?
Have we all gone bonkers sending our code to third parties? The code is the thing you want to keep secret unless your working on an open source project.
