I want to add that their chart shows s/token per device (edit: as per the heading on table 1 - it could also be confusing grammar), so it sounds like you are getting 4x the listed s/t on their 4 laptop cluster . Their laptops are not even hardwired - they are connecting over wifi.
This comes at a very interesting time for me. I have an ancient dual xeon workstation with 64gb memory that I was researching how to convert to run an llm. I can just run that with 4 instances on the same machine and see how it goes, without purchasing a better GPU, to start. It sounds like this will allow you to run very large models with minimal quants, on craigslist quality devices.
If it does what they say it does (and it seems to do), it will be an absolute game changer for most users.
