Guys, we are the in the mainframe era of AI. People in the 60's thought computing was expensive too and the idea of having a computer on every desk, nevermind every pocket, nevermind every single piece of electronics in the world basically seemed like a complete pipe dream.

if you told someone in the 70's their toaster would have a supercomputer it in, they would think you were crazy. in 10 years your doorknob is going to have a local AI model it in.

This is computing 2.0 not the dot com bubble. 90% of inference will be at the edge in the future and there will still be super-computers and giant clusters doing cutting edge science and research, but for 90% of use cases youll just need a tiny local model, same reason you dont need a giant GPU in your smart tv.
