News/Article The PS5 system itself is running on pc

Recently, we have seen massive developments in PS5 emulators (such as shadPS4 and Kyty), and how rapidly they have progressed in a short period.

​Now, developers have successfully booted the actual PS5 system software on PC.

​If this momentum continues in the future, it will eventually allow players to run PS5 exclusives directly on PC, marking the end of the era of console exclusivity.

Local models have gotten shockingly good. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out they’re using Qwen or GLM or something similar, in which case they’d only be paying for the initial hardware and on-going electric utility costs.

Any reason why you mention local models instead of the much much much more likely scenario where they used a cloud model?

Also, way to bury the lede. "Just the hardware cost" means at least $10K for a good local model.

Because cloud models cost money/tokens and their comment was a response to the expense of those tokens. Can you read?

“Frontier” models that are full of refusals? The “inferior” abliterated local models, for certain tasks like reverse engineering, can be considerably more useful.
