       | domains absolutely staggering, based on rarity, those should be
       | worth millions I guess?

         | I mean, ch.at is a incredible domain hack. But not sure it's
         | worth millions. If it was ch.com could get mid six figures and
         | up. But either way absolutely amazing domain.

         | The cost was about 600 USD and was fun, but problematic as it

       | Perhaps via an RNN like in
       | https://huggingface.co/spaces/BlinkDL/RWKV-Gradio-2
       | 
       | Or even just leverage huggingface gradio spaces? (most are Gradio

           | 
           | I'm half joking. Web pages are ludicrously fat these days.

           | and enable you to chat with it.
           | 
           | I've released similar projects before.
           | 
           | I'll drop a post about my plans in the coming days and I'll
           | build and document it about two weeks later if there's enough
           | interest.
