I think the ultra processors can only support a maximum of 256 RAM. And if it could support 2TB of RAM, I think 2TB RAM kits go for approx $12,000.00.

Not sure how much of a bubble AI is, but check this out: www. youtube.com/watch?v=EHxwuliHTXA IT Entrepreneur Böminghaus on AI: Reality Instead of Hype.
And open-weight LLM models are becoming better and better. For privacy legal reasons they are a must.

A desktop PC with same specs would probably be quite a bit cheaper and be upgradable and repairable, tho.
