Because all the training is made on a proprietary system (and the prices are high), the MCU is just running the model.

have you noted that there is `Free Tier` that cost you $0? You can train using that. For this tutorial the cost of board ($20) is all you need to pay. Same for personal projects and even small skunkworks projects within companies. Picovoice makes money from large-scale deployments done by device makers
