Some hurried goalpost-moving there! If we take Qwen 27B as the benchmark of equivalent power (rather than its default configuration with no fine-tuning), I can still think of applications. Auto summarization for legal document databases and other high security/offline contexts, contraband detection, moderating websites like HN etc :)
Me? Probably not. A business or a hoster, sure. There'd probably end up being an aftermarket in used cartridges with slightly older but still good models on them.
