The words AI and LLM do not appear on this page.

> With 48GB GDDR6 memory, RTX 5880 gives data scientists, engineers, and creative professionals the large memory needed to work with large datasets and workloads like rendering, data science, and simulation.

I wonder what else might need this much memory...

There's some work being done in GPU-accelerated fluid/smoke simulations, like Axiom for Houdini[1] - but to be honest, it seems like the AI use case is very heavily implied. Most simulations are still being done via CPU/RAM.
