Part 9/11:
While hardware requirements—such as a GPU with at least 80 GB VRAM—pose current limitations, Rhymes AI has announced efforts to develop lighter, quantized versions of Arya. These will make deployment more feasible for users with less powerful setups, democratizing access to cutting-edge AI.
Future Directions and Potential
Arya’s arrival signals a future where open, adaptable, and efficient AI models can challenge the dominance of proprietary systems. Its ability to operate across multiple data modalities, process vast contexts, and perform at a high level without enormous resources could redefine what's possible in AI research, development, and application.
