Local models are always going to be useless unless compute get significantly cheaper, and it's not. TSMC might literally run out of capacity to build any consumer compute product.

Once computer constraints ease up, you will see much larger models. The reason LLM seems to have stalled a bit is because there just not enough compute.

You have more people using AI which requires more compute, and you want to build larger models which requires more compute and you have limited compute. What do you do?

Right.. and computers were once the size of a large room vs now fit into a pocket.

and yet now we have far bigger rooms with far bigger computers anyway

Hardware may improve exponentially, but demand for compute increases double-exponentially. we'll always need more, bigger computers

There is literally not enough compute dude. If we had infinite compute we would see everyone building Mythos size models.

"Right.. and computers were once the size of a large room vs now fit into a pocket."

Yeah because we offload much of the compute to off device. You think we would have these small computers in our pockets if the internet didn't exist?
