A phone makes a very crappy AI inference rig. It's battery powered and can't even really run at 100% utilization on an ongoing basis due to how challenging the thermals are.

at the moment yes. The one possible silver lining with all of the current hardware crunch is that it _should_ force some hardware advancements. The last couple years hardware has been kinda boring. My m1max is still zippy as all hell and doesn't really need to be upgraded, unless I am committing to local AI inference.
