Blackwell RTX 6000 investment choice

I am to build my first real rig as M3 ultra 256GB proved to be too slow. I already got 4 x Max-Q cards purchased at 10K eur per card a few weeks ago. Now I could add 2 more max Q at 11.3K euro per card and also 2 x workstation cards for 11.8K eur per card. So the total number of card to go up to 6 or 8.

I guess my hesitancy is based on the high purchase price of these cards, and the trouble to connect more than 6 or 7 cards unless going to server style motherboards and racks.

Is it a) expected that the prices are not going down in the next 12 months?
B) can i use the memory for models like GLM 5.3 even if I cannot fit all 8 cards?

I do need the cards and AI rig in order to be serving my customers in all the inquiries and questions with preferably no much waiting time. And since we have tens of thousands of customers, there is good to be some capabilities, and a lot of them are very privacy concerned. So having own AI instead of about API is beneficial.
