Get $600 off either edition of WiCi One, the first wireless GPU, using my link: https://ntck.co/wici_gpu
I ran DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, a 750 billion parameter model that normally needs over 500 GB of memory, on a box with only 32 GB of VRAM. Over Wi-Fi. By the numbers that shouldn't work. The box is WiCi One, a GPU every device in your house can share. In this video you'll learn why big local models don't fit on consumer GPUs, and how WiCi got one running anyway.

Figma and Lovart are cloud apps. For this demo, their AI generation requests were redirected to a model running locally on WiCi One.
TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 - The first Wi-Fi GPU: an RTX 5090 my laptop thinks is its own
0:38 - What WiCi One is, and what's inside the box
2:15 - Why Wi-Fi should be way too slow for a GPU
4:37 - The WiCi protocol: how they made the game and GPU stop talking so much
5:36 - From Tencent cloud gaming to a wireless GPU
6:05 - The two problems holding local AI back
7:32 - Why you can't run frontier-size AI models at home
9:57 - The math on running a 750 billion parameter model
11:59 - Mixture of experts, explained with badminton
13:50 - The four tricks that make DeepSeek V4.1 Flash usable on 32 GB of VRAM
15:16 - Running DeepSeek V4.1 Flash live on WiCi One
17:36 - Why GPUs don't like to share
19:41 - Testing WiCi's scheduler: switching AI models with and without it
21:06 - The family GPU: my verdict, pricing and shipping
