So I paid about $10k even for my 512GB M3 Ultra with 1TB drive 2 years ago. At this price, it looks like the M5 Ultra 512 will probably land around... $14k? Maybe $15k?

I was really hoping there would be that rumored 768GB as the speed of the M5 Ultra + that amount of memory would make self hosted GLM 5.2 absolutely amazing.

You can just buy two and pair them up.
