Running Kimi 2.6 on a single Forge MoE node
Kimi 2.6 is a trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts model that most people assume needs a rack of accelerators. It fits on one Forge MoE node. Here is why, and what to expect.
Why object storage costs far more than it should
Cloud object storage is priced on rented capacity and metered egress, not on what it costs to keep a byte. Here is why the price you pay is so detached from reality.
Running a 671B-parameter model on a single node
Mixture-of-experts models look like they need a rack of GPUs. With the right memory architecture and the KTransformers pattern, one node will do.
Questions, answered.
What processors do you use?
AMD EPYC for general Compute; Intel Xeon AMX for Compute Ultra and Forge MoE. We guarantee a performance floor per tier, not a specific SKU.
Where are your servers located?
South Florida (MIA-1) at launch, with more sites on the roadmap.
What network do you offer?
25 Gbps internal between nodes, verifiable with iperf3. Internet upstream is shared; dedicated uplinks available.
Do you offer AI / GPU nodes?
Yes — Forge MoE: Xeon AMX + GPU running mixture-of-experts models on a single node.
When is Smelt not the right fit?
Bursty workloads that autoscale to zero, many-region needs today, or compliance we have not yet completed. For steady-state, dedicated hardware wins.
