Some US company specialize in selling CNC mills specifically for firearms.
Ex: https://realghostguns.com/product/gg3-s-cnc-deposit/
It is sold with the cut codes for the AR-15, AR-.308, 1911, Polymer80 and AK-47 receivers and frames.For the knowledge preservation, I guess that a copy of deepseek has most of the required information. But, it would be hard to run it in a primitive world.
The 14.5 inch version is 1.6kg, 2TB, 2.9k resolution, also great design and build quality. $1700

This paper shows how the loss decreases when you increase the model size, compute, or training dataset size.
From the article:
> Convergence is inefficient: When working within a fixed compute budget C but without any other restrictions on the model size N or available data D, we attain optimal performance by training very large models and stopping significantly short of convergence.
It clearly states that when you are limited by your training time compute, you should under-train your model.
This would mean that it costs around ~30k USD to train.
If training an LLM becomes cheaper than buying a car, it could democratize AI a lot.
When I talk to Korean parents, the vast majority of them tell me that raising even one kid is exhausting.
They usually try as much as possible to satisfy every requests of their baby: carrying the toddlers for hours until they fall sleep, letting their kids sleep in the parents bed until they're 6, spoon-feeding them until they are 6, and so on... A Korean pediatrician friend told me that Korean kids score the lowest in the world in terms of autonomy.
So, parents of one kid are already exhausted and think it would be too hard to have a second one.
The reason is simple. They work for a private company. Not a university. Not a public lab.
They do not reveal the process for the same reason than openAI does not reveal its process. It is because they are sitting on a quadrillion dollars opportunity and they want to grab it.
Similarly as OpenAI, many initiatives are trying to make an open source alternative so they have a risk of not profiting from their extraordinary invention.
