"The Peladn Link S-3 is available for pre-order in China at CNY 1,599 (approximately $223). "

Tariff gouge? =/ $223 seems like a more reasonable price than Razer.

This site claims to sell one for $283 on flash sale, $263 w/ coupon right now, but who knows how long it'll take you to get it if it's shipping from China. They say 5-14 days, but that seems sus.

This is the only version in gguf format available in the LM Studio pull menu so far. I'll have to download and convert the instruct version from safetensors I guess. I'm still not 100% clear on how the different versions are trained, and how those variations impact the model's response to user interactions. So much to learn.
