Microslop thinks that “Clutter free” means “bundled with an always on LLM” 😸

    If it was “clutter free”, it would not need 64GB. It might even work with 4GB or less.

    Clearly, the focus is on local AI development — a timely move as cloud AI token costs start to rise.

    AI token costs are only rising for people with low AI proficiency who compensate for that by just using expensive models for everything. For others, the costs are dropping quite a lot, largely thanks to Chinese models (GLM, Kimi, Qwen, etc.)

    The goal, really, is to cut the crud out of Windows to create a more Linux-like experience.

    LOL. I’ll just keep using Linux, thank you very much. Great article though:

    […] demanding 64GB of RAM in the age of the RAMaggedon seems inexcusable. (Especially because Microsoft’s partnership with OpenAI and its overall AI push is a big reason memory prices have skyrocketed.)

    It will be interesting to see what the price point is for Zenith, and the hardware needed to run it.

    64GB of RAM to use it.

    Does that mean it does not run on my beloved Thinkpad X220 with 4GB?

    Looks like I am stuck with running Debian 13 on it.

    Fun fact, at $currentwork there are two true believers in AI and somehow they managed to procure me a laptop for home office which weights in roughly 9 kilograms. Must be the battery which is needed to power the NVidia graphics card.

    If they actually cut the bloat and had a bare bones system it would be a half decent OS. It would be able to get away with less ram and faster response. The only issue is that would not look good for there stock value.

        While we’re at it, a real CLI, please. Running a full GUI and popping up a Power Shell window doesn’t count.

          I don’t understand, do you not like Windows Terminal? I have found it to be one of the better parts of Windows 11. It isn’t perfect, but miles better than cmd.

              Yeah, I was referring to Windows Server Core. They had an opportunity to implement a proper CLI and marketed it that way. Instead it still runs the full GUI, but just sets cmd.exe as the shell instead of explorer.exe

    I’m sure the event viewer, resource monitor, etc will support hidpi with this right and it’s not just gonna be another Ui layer painted on top of all the old ones like a shitty apartment where you can cut the wall and count the layers of paint

    You need 64 GB or RAM to use it? Seems like it’s just a marketing gimmick to find dumb developers who can afford 64GB of RAM in the first place. Kind of like that “I am Rich” app…

      it’s 64gb so you can run local ai models to ‘re-clutter’ your windows experience.

      I am curious, how many of the Lemmy/piefed/mbin servers can meet this requirement. I know only lemmy.world that does.

        I have 128gb. I didn’t need 128gb but it was a good deal and thought fuck it, i spent too much into AM4 anyway might as well go all in and not bother with AM5 for another four years if ever.
