Altman: when RAM is scarce, put it in the cloud first
What happened
On The Verge's October 31, 2026 report, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman discussed RAM allocation on the Cheeky Pint podcast. With memory supply tight, he said cloud utilization should rise first rather than spreading limited memory across personal computers, which he called less than ideal. The remarks compare data-center and PC memory use. The report gives his view only, with no configuration measures or implementation progress.
