In the "Under the Hood of Edge0" section it mentions that it needs another 40 GB of system memory for experts plus 48 GB of SSD storage for vocabulary (engrams?). The 29 GB headline seems to just be a flat lie (/the LLM writing this article getting confused about what memory usage it's reading).

Oh that’s annoying, from the hype I was hoping my 48GB MBP would be able to run this happily, but if we’re talking about -70GB combined RAM footprint then that’s not going to cut it.

Still very interesting though.

The image under “Competitive capability with a smaller memory footprint” explicitly claims:

> Edge0-145B scores above comparable models with less than half the memory (29 GB vs ~70 GB) and runs on a 48GB laptop

So either they’re lying or confused or I’m confused.
