When people say that you "can't do" something what they actually mean is that it's completely impractical (if not impossible).

Whether something is "impractical" depends on your expectations. High-latency unattended inference is definitely viable, even though it doesn't align much with what's being run in hyperscale datacenters.

I'd like to meet the person who's been using a 1 token/second system as their primary LLM for at least a few weeks. Anyone?

I think 1 token/second is optimistic here - and even then it's over 11 days per million tokens.
