This isn't for training, is it? It's for using the results of training immediately (inferring something), without the need for a network round trip (as far as I understand it).

So, you might still send the request to the network to continue training the model, but by the time you do, your answer has already computed on the local machine for local consumption.

Thank you, everybody, that has helped me understand. Obvious in hindsight but isn't that the way of these things.

From what I understand, some of the vehicular deep-nets work like this right now. The results of training gets sent to the car as firmware updates.
