Out of curiosity, how many concurrent users could you get with a hosting setup at that price? If let's say 10% of those 1000 users were using it at the same time would it handle it? What about 30% or 100%?
You made a good point that I didn't think through fully. It's the concurrent user aspect that heavily impacts things. Currently, you'd probably need quite a bit more investment to the point of having a mini data center to do what I'm proposing.
However, we've been seeing advancements in compressing context and capabilities of smaller models that I don't think it'd be too far off to see something like what I'm talking about within the next 5 years.
