Edge inference and cloud inference are not mutually exclusive and chances are any serious player would be dipping their toes in both.

Right. The difference is that Apple has a ton of edge capacity, they’ve been building it for a long time.

Google and Samsung have been building it too, at different speeds.

Intel and AMD seem further behind (at the moment) unless the user has a strong GPU, which is especially uncommon on the most popular kind of computer: laptops.

And if you’re not one of those four companies… you probably don’t have much capable consumer edge hardware.
