1. Hardware feasibility & performance
- ThrowawayTestr: “11.4G of shared memory. Could do something interesting if you don’t have a GPU.”
- robotswantdata: “Significantly slower and less capable than opus 5.5 … you can run comparable or better models than gpt4. Try to stay under 30b.”
- p1necone: “They’re not even in the same ballpark – the PS5 is more than an order of magnitude better in GPU performance.”
2. Legal/takedown & corporate‑control worries
- Rabbit504030201: “The project's primary site should not be GitHub, and I am serious. Playstation 5 is not some historical curiosity and Sony might strike the page down any hour now.”
- minimaxir: “There's no feasible way to avoid takedowns/DMCA in 2026 unless you do TOR shenanigans. Even with a custom domain, Sony could just DMCA the web host for the project.”
- LoganDark: “I struggle to think of anywhere on the entire open internet you could put something like this where it could not be taken down.”
3. Vision for applications (LLM‑powered NPCs, companions, monitoring)
- pwython: “With this in mind, having LLM‑powered NPCs would be a beautiful thing. There's been limited testing on PC games (PUBG Ally), but I can imagine it will be the standard.”
- tiahura: “Fortnite Darth Vader already did.”
- greggsy: “After all of the agonising about AI companions, we realised that we just wanted someone to play games with.”
- jjcm: “Even though it only runs qwen 3.8 27b at a 2 bit quant, it's still highly viable… great for things like monitoring server error rates, reviewing security footage, watching plant growth / controlling watering…”
