Perhaps if GPUDirect [1] were available on consumer devices, it would be possible to DMA training/model data in from an SSD/Optane/hypothetical DRAM-based PCIe drive and scale up to bigger problems as a result.

Alas, not even AMD allows access to their GPUDirect equivalent, and I can't imagine anyone being able to drum up enough pressure for those vendors to flip the toggle to make them available on their consumer lines.
