I'm an independent AI researcher. I got qwen3.6-35B-A3B running at 21 tok/s decode on Tesla K80s. Those cards are $60 on eBay and I can run 8 on one crypto mining motherboard. Nobody writes software for old hardware. So I did. Kernel driver, inference stack in C, multi-GPU orchestration. It works. All of it self-funded so far. That's the wall I'm at. I need capital, not ideas. Looking for funding. Angel, grant, contract, whatever shape it takes. If I get it I hire C devs and go faster. Reach out if that's you or you know someone.
