The amount of improvements in speed and resource usage i've seen happening in the last few days since the LLaMA LLM model release is staggering. There is a lot of room for improvement, no doubt.

Looking at the bigger picture:

- Moore's law is slowing down

- The cost for ever shrinking transistors is exploding

- Energy costs are soaring

- Planetwide, we need to get rid of non renewable power sources ASAP

Thus, efficient hardware and software should be on everyone's priority list, even if developers are expensive.
