Maybe people will start running local models on their phones to avoid this, i've seen a couple of apps for android that do just that.

My rtx5090 does not have enough vram to run a large model at usable speeds.

What kind of phone do you have that outperforms my gaming rig?

Maybe there will be models-as-a-service, MaaS as well. Pay extra for no ads. Like Proton Mail vs Gmail.
