Cause of death: the autopsy

A free open-source project (11,418 GitHub stars, HN 652) claimed to run the 125B model on one 12 GB gaming GPU. Hosting it needs GPUs the farm doesn't run, and an installer is a desktop app; the free tool already does the job.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
